Antenna and amplifier advice for Bingham Farms

The farthest main network tower for Bingham Farms is WWJ-TV (CBS), 6.9 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPXD-TV is only 3.0 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.
