Over-the-air TV in Wixom

With roughly 13,700 residents, Wixom is a town in Michigan. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 39 licensed TV transmitters: 26 full-power, 3 Class A, 9 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 25 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

13 of them are within 25 miles of Wixom, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 22 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Detroit, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Detroit's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 7 (WXYZ-TV), CBS on channel 62 (WWJ-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WDIV-TV), Fox on channel 2 (WJBK), CW on channel 50 (WKBD-TV) and ION on channel 31 (WPXD-TV). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Wixom

Point your antenna ESE, at about 104°. The main network towers for Wixom sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WPXD-TV and WKBD-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles east of Wixom (104° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wixom at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Wixom

The farthest main network tower for Wixom is WWJ-TV (CBS), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPXD-TV 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.

Setting up an antenna in Wixom: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 106° ESE, the direction of WWJ-TV (CBS), 19 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 25 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
