About KYAZ
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, KYAZ runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 580 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 84% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 69 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 80 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 150 cities and towns in our guide with about 4,500,000 residents, as far as Huntsville, TX (80 miles).
KYAZ shares its transmitter site with KCVH-LD, KUVM-CD, KTBU, KXLN-DT (Univision), KHLM-LD and KZJL and 13 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other MeTV station in our data is KAZD in Lake Dallas, TX, 226 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a free over-the-air network of classic TV series from the 1950s through the 1990s. It is often carried on a subchannel of a local station.
