By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 25 between 25 and 45 miles, and 50 farther out. Seven of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Minneapolis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Minneapolis's stations.

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

The farthest main network tower for Le Sueur is KARE (NBC), 56 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Le Sueur ranks 206th of 371 places in Minnesota: fewer than the typical Minnesota town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 44 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.
