Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 0 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 34 farther out. Four of the 17 network stations in range are licensed to Fort Wayne, IN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Fort Wayne's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 21 (WPTA), CBS on channel 6 (WLNS-TV), NBC on channel 10 (WILX-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). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna N, at about 5°. The main network towers for Jonesville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WFFT-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WANE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 66 miles southwest of Jonesville (205° SSW). 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 Jonesville at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Jonesville is WSYM-TV (Fox), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPTA (ABC), 67 miles southwest and WLNS-TV (CBS), 51 miles north, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Jonesville ranks 349th of 447 places in Michigan: fewer than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 32 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
