TV channels & antenna towers in Holland, Michigan

Holland is a city of about 33,700 people in Michigan. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 26 licensed TV transmitters: 10 full-power, 8 Class A and 8 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 14 between 25 and 45 miles, and 5 farther out. Three of the 7 network stations in range are licensed to Grand Rapids, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Grand Rapids's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 13 (WZZM), CBS on channel 3 (WWMT), NBC on channel 8 (WOOD-TV), Fox on channel 17 (WXMI), CW on channel 41.2 (WOTV), ION on channel 43 (WZPX-TV) and MeTV on channel 64.2 (WLLA). 3 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 Holland are in different directions: ABC 15° NNE (37 mi), CBS 110° ESE (31 mi), NBC 103° ESE (31 mi) and Fox 103° ESE (30 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WOTV, WZPX-TV and WLLA, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles southeast of Holland (115° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Holland at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Holland is WZZM (ABC), 37 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 17 stations at fair strength or better, Holland ranks 181st of 447 places in Michigan: more than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 30 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 Wyoming, 22 miles away.
