Antenna and amplifier advice for New Baltimore
The farthest main network tower for New Baltimore is WXYZ-TV (ABC), 30 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WADL is only 12 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
