About KWEX-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 785 kW effective radiated power, KWEX-DT runs more power than 72% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 388 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 53% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 58 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 69 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 89 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,150,000 residents, as far as Kyle, TX (55 miles).

KWEX-DT shares its transmitter site with K25OB-D, KENS (CBS), WOAI-TV (CW) and KSAT-TV (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

Univision is the largest Spanish-language broadcast network in the U.S., carrying telenovelas, news, entertainment and soccer.
