📡 Find Your Local Stations

Twin Cities: CBS = WCCO 4, NBC = KARE 11, ABC = KSTP 5, FOX = KMSP 9.
Duluth–Superior: CBS = KBJR 6.2 (branded “CBS 3 Duluth”), NBC = KBJR 6, ABC = WDIO 10, FOX = KQDS 21.
Rochester–Austin: CBS = KIMT 3, NBC = KTTC 10, ABC = KAAL 6, FOX = KXLT 47.
Mankato: CBS = KEYC 12, FOX = KEYC 12.2, NBC = KMNF 7. No full-power ABC station is listed for Mankato, so scan for an ABC translator or check the FCC map below.
Fargo–Moorhead: CBS = KVLY 11.2 (“KX4”; its own low-power signal is weaker), NBC = KVLY 11, ABC = WDAY 6, FOX = KVRR 15.
Anywhere else: Enter your address in the FCC’s DTV Reception Map (fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps) to see which stations reach you. Some stations sit on a subchannel (like 6.2), and call signs and channels change occasionally, so double-check against your TV’s channel scan.

📡 Antenna Strategy Reminders

The Tower Location: Broadcast towers cluster outside most cities (in the Twin Cities they are in Shoreview, northeast of Minneapolis). Use the FCC map above to find which direction your stations are in, and place the antenna on a wall or window facing that way.
Hardware Choice: Buy an indoor antenna that explicitly states it supports both VHF and UHF frequencies. Some stations broadcast on VHF, so a UHF-only antenna can struggle to pick them up; reception still varies by building and antenna placement. Outside the metro areas, a roof or attic antenna with more range may be needed. Recommended indoor models include the Mohu Leaf 30 or the Winegard FlatWave Amped.
