About KXXV
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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, KXXV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 561 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 80% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 68 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 79 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 121 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,470,000 residents, as far as Austin, TX (78 miles).
The nearest other ABC station in our data is KRHD-CD in Bryan, TX, 64 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
ABC is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks. Local ABC affiliates carry the national morning, evening news and primetime schedule alongside their own local newscasts, and the network carries major sports such as NBA games.
