Over-the-air TV in La Salle
La Salle is a small community of about 2,050 people in Colorado. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 43 licensed TV transmitters: 20 full-power, 3 Class A, 17 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 31 farther out. Six of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Denver, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Denver's stations.
The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 27.2 (KLWY), CBS on channel 4 (KCNC-TV), NBC on channel 9 (KUSA), Fox on channel 31 (KDVR), PBS on channel 12 (KBDI-TV), CW on channel 2 (KWGN-TV), ION on channel 59 (KPXC-TV), Telemundo on channel 25 (KDEN-TV), Univision on channel 14 (KCEC) and Trinity on channel 38 (KPJR-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal) and Univision (good signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.
Which way to point your antenna in La Salle
The main network towers around La Salle are in different directions: ABC 348° NNW (49 mi), CBS 213° SSW (51 mi), NBC 213° SSW (51 mi), Fox 214° SSW (51 mi) and PBS 223° SW (62 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Three network stations, KPJR-TV, KDEN-TV and KPXC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles southwest of La Salle (211° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach La Salle at fair strength or better, 77% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
KLWY (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from La Salle. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for La Salle
The farthest main network tower for La Salle is KBDI-TV (PBS), 62 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in La Salle: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 223° SW, the direction of KBDI-TV (PBS), 62 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 23 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
