Kvcr tv 24

I know KVCR-TV served the Inland Empire and the Coachella valley area. How’s their tv signal around the Los Angeles metro area? Can you picked up in Orange County? Long Beach? San Fernando Valley? San Gaberial valley? Downtown? Santa Monica? Hollywood? I know they’re on AT&T universe, Directv and Dish Network. Are they in Los Angeles cable system as well in Riverside-San Bernardino and Palm Springs area?
 
At 475k watts atop Box Springs in Riverside, CA; you'd have to have a really strong digital antenna to pick it up in the LA Metro area. nocable.org lists the station in the "Don't even try" category. The same in Orange Couny. The signal is manly picked up in most of Riverside/San Bernardino Counties.
 
In analog days, yeah you could get a whiff of KVCR-24 especially in the Summer along with KUSI-51 and KSWB-69 out of San Diego. When analog sunset happened KVCR-24 fell off the map. At least it did in Long Beach. KSWB-69 stuck around in the digital era until the FCC threw broadcasters off of channels 52-69 and later 38-51.

Even with a roof mounted antenna pulling in KVCR-24 and to a lesser extent San Diego is a reach if it happens at all outside of the inversion layers during the Summer when skips occur.

Besides, KVCR-24 operates on RF channel 5 nowadays and DTV as a rule is a reception nightmare on the lo-VHF bands.

I remember up until the early 2000s, KVCR was available on cable in Long Beach and a few surrounding cities in Southeastern and Eastern L.A. County, and including along the Orange Curtain and the Pomona Valley. Before they switched from RF 26 to RF 5 a few years ago, I could pick up KVCR (albeit sporadically) in my part of SW Los Angeles County. Even KOCE was hard to pick-up in the analog days in certain parts of L.A. until they moved their transmitter to Mount Harvard years ago.
