Which way to point your antenna in Wyandotte

Point your antenna N, at about 350°. The main network towers for Wyandotte sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WJBK, WXYZ-TV and WDIV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles north of Wyandotte (349° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wyandotte at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Wyandotte

The farthest main network tower for Wyandotte is WDIV-TV (NBC), 19 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

  2. Point it toward 351° N, the direction of WDIV-TV (NBC), 19 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
