About KVDA

Full-power stations are the main licensed broadcasters in a market. They may run the highest power from the tallest towers and are protected from interference, so they set the core of what you can receive.

At 805 kW effective radiated power, KVDA runs more power than 74% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 451 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 64% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 62 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 93 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,160,000 residents, as far as Kyle, TX (53 miles).

KVDA shares its transmitter site with KHCE-TV (Trinity). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is KXNU-CD in Laredo, TX, 141 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Telemundo is a Spanish-language broadcast network with telenovelas, news, entertainment and major soccer coverage. It is one of the two largest Spanish-language networks on U.S. antenna TV.
