Goodrich is a small community of about 1,830 people in Michigan. There are 33 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 21 full-power, 2 Class A and 10 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Goodrich, 20 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 9 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 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 7 (WXYZ-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WLNS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WDIV-TV), Fox on channel 66 (WSMH), CW on channel 46 (WBSF) and ION on channel 31 (WPXD-TV). 6 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 Goodrich are in different directions: ABC 157° SSE (33 mi), NBC 153° SSE (34 mi) and Fox 307° NW (36 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WEYI-TV and WBSF, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles northwest of Goodrich (332° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Goodrich is WSMH (Fox), 36 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLNS-TV (CBS), 47 miles west, 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 22 stations at fair strength or better, Goodrich ranks 47th of 447 places in Michigan: more than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

56% of Michigan's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Burton, 8.0 miles away.
