TV channels & antenna towers in Luck, Wisconsin

Luck is a small community of about 1,070 people in Wisconsin. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 12 full-power, 1 Class A, 12 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Luck, 0 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 28 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Minneapolis, MN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Minneapolis's stations.

For the networks, the best local options 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 SW, at about 222°. The main network towers for Luck sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, KMSP-TV, WCCO-TV, KARE, KSTC-TV and KSTP-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 47 miles southwest of Luck (221° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Luck is KSTP-TV (ABC), 48 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 12 stations at fair strength or better, Luck ranks 209th of 423 places in Wisconsin: the same as the typical Wisconsin town (12). Its nearest major network tower is 47 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
