Cable DMA Fort Smith – Fayetteville – Springdale - Rogers
Transmitter Location Makes A Difference! KHBS-TV’s (Channel 40) UHF transmitter site on Cavanaugh Hill in Poteau Oklahoma allows effective signal strength into the River Valley portion of the DMA, covering all 8 of the southern DMA counties and beyond. KHOG-TV’s(Channel 29) UHF transmitter site (sister to KHBS) on Mt. Kessler in Springdale allows effective signal strength into Northwest Arkansas covering the three northern DMA counties and beyond. CW (NHBS-DT 40-2, NHOG-DT 29-2) KHBS in Fort Smith and KHOG in Rogers broadcast the CW Plus Network on the digital tier in each side of the market. NHBS DT 40-2 in Ft Smith and NHOG 29-2 in Rogers KFSM-TV’s (Channel 5) VHF transmitter location is atop Figure Five Mountain approximately 5 miles north of Van Buren. While covering the southern and eastern portions of the DMA effectively, the northern signal has weak spots, especially in Benton County, the northernmost county in the DMA. KPBI-TV’s(Channel 46) LPTV transmitter is located on Vista Hill in Van Buren. KPBI has a network of low power repeaters, enabling the station to further the signal in order to reach the main cable headends. Over the air reception is very difficult in all parts of the DMA. This company also owns the UPN affiliate: KFDF (Channel 10). They use the same network to supply KFDF to cable headends. *Univision(KFDF-TV) LPTV transmitter (sister station to KPBI) is also on a network of lower power repeaters, enabling the station to reach cable headends. Over the air reception is very different throughout the DMA. KFTA-TV’s(Channel 24) UHF transmitter is located on Cartwright Mountain in lower Crawford County. KFTA provides a signal to the southern part of the DMA. Due to the transmitter location, it is difficult for the South and eastern counties to get good reception. KFTA does not cover the northern half of the DMA with a broadcast signal KNWA-TV’sUHF (Channel 51) UHF transmitter site (sister to KFTA) is located in Rogers Arkansas. The signal is designed to cover the 3 counties in Northwest Arkansas, and does not cover the southern half of the DMA with a broadcast signal. GEOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Fort Smith is located in the southern half of the DMA while Fayetteville, Springdale and Rogers are located in the northern half. The Boston Mountain range separates the two Metro regions by 70 miles of rough and mountainous terrain. Fort Smith is situated beside the Arkansas River and borders Oklahoma to the West. Northwest Arkansas sits at the foothills of the Ozark Mountain Range and borders Missouri to the North. Each region is very different from the other in many ways. Cultural, social, economic, industrial and even subtle differences in climate give each region it’s own identity within the same market. o X + * X + Sources: NSI 2008, 2007 Demographic USA
