Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 0 transmitters are within 25 miles, 26 between 25 and 45 miles, and 32 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.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 5 (KSTP-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WCCO-TV), NBC on channel 11 (KARE), Fox on channel 9 (KMSP-TV), CW on channel 23 (WUCW), ION on channel 41 (KPXM-TV), Telemundo on channel 25 (KJNK-LD), Univision on channel 21 (WUMN-LD) and MeTV on channel 5.3 (KSTC-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (very weak signal). 4 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna E, at about 93°. The main network towers for Litchfield sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WCCO-TV, KARE, KSTC-TV, KSTP-TV and WUCW and others, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles east of Litchfield (93° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Litchfield at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KSTP-TV (ABC), WCCO-TV (CBS), KARE (NBC) and KMSP-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Litchfield. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Litchfield is KMSP-TV (Fox), 69 miles away with a weak 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.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Litchfield ranks 206th of 371 places in Minnesota: fewer than the typical Minnesota town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 51 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.

33% of Minnesota's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Saint Cloud, 35 miles away.
