About KXVO
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 630 kW effective radiated power, KXVO runs more power than 66% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 475 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 68% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 63 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 74 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 70 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,130,000 residents, as far as Columbus, NE (64 miles).
KXVO shares its transmitter site with KPTM (CW). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
