Over-the-air TV in Coloma

Coloma is a small community of about 1,460 people in Michigan. There are 32 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 14 full-power, 7 Class A and 11 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Coloma, 12 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 19 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to South Bend, IN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from South Bend's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 57 (WBND-LD), CBS on channel 3 (WWMT), NBC on channel 16 (WNDU-TV), Fox on channel 22.2 (WSBT-TV), CW on channel 41.2 (WOTV), ION on channel 43 (WZPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 69.2 (WMYS-LD), Univision on channel 46 (WHME-TV) and MeTV on channel 64.2 (WLLA). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Coloma

Point your antenna S, at about 173°. The main network towers for Coloma sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSBT-TV and WNDU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles south of Coloma (173° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Coloma at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Coloma

The farthest main network tower for Coloma is WNDU-TV (NBC), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WWMT (CBS), 50 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.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Coloma: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 173° S, the direction of WNDU-TV (NBC), 40 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 12 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
