Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Fowler, 12 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 32 are more than 45 miles out. Three of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Lansing, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Lansing'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). 7 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 Fowler are in different directions: ABC 65° ENE (38 mi), CBS 139° SE (28 mi) and Fox 173° S (37 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 28 miles southeast of Fowler (139° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fowler at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Fowler is WJRT-TV (ABC), 38 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WEYI-TV (NBC), 53 miles east, 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 20 stations at fair strength or better, Fowler ranks 91st of 447 places in Michigan: more than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 28 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
