TV channels & antenna towers in Bath, Michigan

With roughly 2,080 residents, Bath is a small community in Michigan. Our map shows 47 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 26 full-power, 4 Class A and 17 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 37 farther out. Five of the 21 network stations in range are licensed to Detroit, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Detroit's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 12 (WJRT-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WLNS-TV), NBC on channel 25 (WEYI-TV), Fox on channel 47 (WSYM-TV), CW on channel 53.2 (WLAJ), ION on channel 43 (WZPX-TV) and MeTV on channel 64.2 (WLLA). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Bath are in different directions: ABC 35° NE (35 mi), CBS 158° SSE (9.7 mi) and Fox 203° SSW (26 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WLAJ and WLNS-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 9.7 miles south of Bath (158° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bath at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Bath is WJRT-TV (ABC), 35 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WEYI-TV (NBC), 46 miles northeast, 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.

WKAR-TV is only 8.3 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Bath ranks 205th of 447 places in Michigan: the same as the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 9.7 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
