Are the GPS coordinates for the transmitting antenna

transmitting antenna.


Sure. It's on the FCC page for the station.
Start he

Inscribe the call sign in the call sign box.

For example, this is the results for KNTV:

Incidentally, I've tried to obtain transmitter locations, power line
routes, water line routes, location of telco central offices, and
other utility information from the operators at various times. After
2001, the standard answer is that it would compromise their security
if such information was disclosed. Sigh.
