How far each Coastal Bend town is from the towers

The Robstown tower cluster is close to some Coastal Bend towns and far from others, and that decides what antenna you need. We computed the distance and direction from each town to the KIII, KRIS and KZTV transmitters.

Town	Distance to the towers	Point the antenna
Robstown	4 to 10 miles	Varies, they're nearby
Bishop	13 to 17 miles	Northeast
Kingsville	18 to 23 miles	Northeast
Portland	19 to 23 miles	Southwest
Sinton	20 to 27 miles	South
Alice	27 to 29 miles	East
Port Aransas	34 to 36 miles	West
Rockport	38 to 42 miles	Southwest
Beeville	45 to 52 miles	South

Under about 25 miles, a decent indoor or attic antenna with VHF usually works. Past 30 miles, plan on an outdoor antenna mounted high. Beeville, at around 50 miles, is at the edge of the market. Up the coast, Victoria has its own TV stations and its own market.

Antenna setup south and west of Corpus Christi

1. Get VHF and UHF. ABC 3 and CBS 10 broadcast on VHF, so a UHF-only flat antenna will likely miss them in Kingsville.
2. Point northeast from Kingsville, or follow the table above for your town.
3. Mount it high. At 18 miles and more, the roof or attic beats a window.
4. Scan, then check 3.1 and 10.1. Those VHF stations are the hardest; if they play, the rest should too.

The FCC's DTV reception map grades every Corpus Christi signal at a Kingsville street address, from strong to none.

Telemundo's repeaters for Kingsville, Alice and Beeville

Telemundo 47 runs two low-power repeaters for the outer Coastal Bend. K31KK-D serves Kingsville and Alice, and K09YZ-D serves Beeville and Refugio. Both keep the 47.1 and 47.2 channel numbers, so a TV in Kingsville shows Telemundo exactly as it would in Corpus Christi.

Telemundo also rides on KZTV's 10.2, from the main Robstown cluster. If one copy is weak at your house, try the other. Our Corpus Christi TV stations guide explains who runs each station.

NAS Kingsville and military households

Naval Air Station Kingsville trains Navy and Marine Corps jet pilots, so many local households come from somewhere else. For them, the hometown news is often the channel they miss most.

An antenna can't help there; it only receives the Corpus Christi market. IPTVZ carries local stations from markets across the US, which lets a family keep its home-state news and NFL team's local broadcasts. Our local channels by state guide shows the coverage.

Kingsville TV without cable

Kingsville households can watch with an antenna, a streaming service or IPTV.

• An antenna, $25 to $60 once, with VHF, aimed northeast.
• Spectrum cable where it's offered. Our guide to leaving Spectrum in Corpus Christi prices it against the alternatives.
• YouTube TV and similar apps, priced from $82.99 a month for the full plan; enter 78363 to see which Corpus Christi stations it lists.
• IPTVZ, $74.99 for 12 months on one device, with ABC 3, NBC 6, CBS 10, FOX 38 and Telemundo plus stations nationwide.

The Javelinas of Texas A&M-Kingsville play NCAA Division II football in the Lone Star Conference, and their games are mostly streamed rather than televised. Our guide to IPTV in Corpus Christi covers internet speed and setup, which work the same in Kingsville.
