Four network stations, KQDS-TV, WDIO-DT, KDLH and KBJR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles southeast of Chisholm (143° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Chisholm at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Chisholm, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Chisholm is KRII (NBC), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KQDS-TV (Fox), 60 miles southeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

WRPT is only 8.1 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 8 stations at fair strength or better, Chisholm ranks 257th of 371 places in Minnesota: fewer than the typical Minnesota town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 8.1 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.
