TV channels & antenna towers in Perry, Michigan

With roughly 2,100 residents, Perry is a small community in Michigan. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 44 licensed TV transmitters: 26 full-power, 4 Class A and 14 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, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 30 farther out. Five of the 21 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 7 (WXYZ-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WLNS-TV), NBC on channel 25 (WEYI-TV), Fox on channel 47 (WSYM-TV), CW on channel 53.2 (WLAJ), ION on channel 31 (WPXD-TV) and MeTV on channel 64.2 (WLLA). 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 Perry are in different directions: CBS 220° SW (12 mi), NBC 43° NE (37 mi) and Fox 222° SW (33 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WLAJ and WLNS-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles southwest of Perry (220° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Perry at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Perry is WEYI-TV (NBC), 37 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WXYZ-TV (ABC), 55 miles southeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

WLAJ 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.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Perry ranks 91st of 447 places in Michigan: more than the typical Michigan town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 12 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 Okemos, 13 miles away.
