About KVTJ-DT
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 420 kW effective radiated power, KVTJ-DT runs more power than 58% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 296 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 26% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 62 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 65 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,890,000 residents, as far as Olive Branch, MS (59 miles).
