About KXLT-TV
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 108 kW effective radiated power, KXLT-TV runs more power than 39% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 343 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 44% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 55 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 61 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 60 cities and towns in our guide with about 405,000 residents, as far as Faribault, MN (58 miles).
KXLT-TV shares its transmitter site with KAAL (ABC), KSMQ-TV and K35PC-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Fox station in our data is WLAX in La Crosse, WI, 59 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
