TV channels & antenna towers in Mount Pleasant, Michigan

With roughly 26,100 residents, Mount Pleasant is a town in Michigan. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 35 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 2 Class A and 19 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Mount Pleasant, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 24 are more than 45 miles out. Two of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Flint, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Flint's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 12 (WJRT-TV), CBS on channel 5 (WNEM-TV), NBC on channel 25 (WEYI-TV), Fox on channel 66 (WSMH) and CW on channel 46 (WBSF). 4 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 SE, at about 126°. The main network towers for Mount Pleasant sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSMH and WJRT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles southeast of Mount Pleasant (126° SE). 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 Mount Pleasant at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Mount Pleasant is WJRT-TV (ABC), 44 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEM-TV (CBS), 47 miles east and WEYI-TV (NBC), 59 miles southeast, 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 12 stations at fair strength or better, Mount Pleasant ranks 316th of 447 places in Michigan: fewer than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 43 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
