The '''KPXM Tower''' (formerly '''KXLI Tower''') is the tallest structure in [[Minnesota]], a [[guy wire|guyed]] aerial [[Radio masts and towers|mast]] rising 1505 [[foot (unit)|feet]] (458.72 [[metre|meters]]).  It transmits the signal for [[KPXM]] channel 41 (40 [[digital television|digital]]), which is an [[i (TV network)|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 {{coor dms|45|23|00|N|93|42|31|W|}}.
 
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 [[callsign (radio)|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&nbsp;ft/241.4&nbsp;m or 910&nbsp;ft/277.3&nbsp;m with rooftop antennas) and [[225 South Sixth]] (776&nbsp;ft/236.5&nbsp;m) in [[Minneapolis, Minnesota|Minneapolis]].
