Three network stations, WTVG, WUPW and WTOL, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles southeast of Clinton (133° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Clinton at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Clinton is WDIV-TV (NBC), 48 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 19 stations at fair strength or better, Clinton ranks 129th of 447 places in Michigan: more than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 39 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
