About KXTF
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 230 kW effective radiated power, KXTF runs more power than 47% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 162 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 6% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 40 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 50 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 15 cities and towns in our guide with about 100,000 residents, as far as Twin Falls, ID (12 miles).
KXTF shares its transmitter site with KMVT (CW), KSVT-CD (Fox), KSAW-LD (ABC), KIPT, KBAX-LD and KYTL-LD and 4 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
