TV channels & antenna towers in Almont, Michigan

Almont is a town of about 2,720 people in Michigan. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 28 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 2 Class A and 8 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Almont, 19 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 9 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Detroit, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Detroit's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 7 (WXYZ-TV), CBS on channel 62 (WWJ-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WDIV-TV), Fox on channel 66 (WSMH), CW on channel 46 (WBSF) and ION on channel 31 (WPXD-TV). 5 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 SSW, at about 195°. The main network towers for Almont sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WDIV-TV and WJBK, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles south of Almont (195° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Almont at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Almont is WWJ-TV (CBS), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WSMH (Fox), 56 miles west, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Almont ranks 205th of 447 places in Michigan: the same as the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 31 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
