TV channels & antenna towers in Owosso, Michigan

Owosso is a city of about 14,700 people in Michigan. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 35 licensed TV transmitters: 20 full-power, 2 Class A and 13 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 8 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 20 farther 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.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 12 (WJRT-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WLNS-TV), NBC on channel 25 (WEYI-TV), Fox on channel 66 (WSMH), CW on channel 53.2 (WLAJ) and ION on channel 31 (WPXD-TV). 5 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 Owosso are in different directions: ABC 20° NNE (17 mi), CBS 205° SSW (24 mi), NBC 56° ENE (28 mi) and Fox 18° NNE (17 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WSMH and WJRT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles north of Owosso (18° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Owosso at fair strength or better, 31% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Owosso is WEYI-TV (NBC), 28 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.

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 20 stations at fair strength or better, Owosso ranks 91st of 447 places in Michigan: more than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 17 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 East Lansing, 24 miles away.
