Antenna and amplifier advice for West Bloomfield Township

The farthest main network tower for West Bloomfield Township is WWJ-TV (CBS), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WPXD-TV is only 6.9 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.
