The KPXM Tower (formerly KXLI Tower) is the tallest structure in Minnesota, a guyed aerial mast rising 1505 feet (458.72 meters). It transmits the signal for KPXM channel 41 (40 digital), which is an i (previously PAX) network affiliate licensed to serve St. Cloud, Minnesota. Radio station KLCI in Elk River, Minnesota also transmits from the KPXM tower. Geographical coordinates for the tower are Template:Coor dms.
The tower was completed in 1997 and is property of Paxson Minneapolis (now a division of ION Media Networks, the owner of the i network). KXLI was the call sign of channel 41 when the tower was built. It surpassed the height of the KMSP Tower, completed in 1971.
The tallest non-guyed structures in the state are the IDS Tower (792 ft/241.4 m or 910 ft/277.3 m with rooftop antennas) and 225 South Sixth (776 ft/236.5 m) in Minneapolis.
