Six network stations, WYPX-TV, WXXA-TV, WCWN, WNYT and WRGB and others, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles south of Northville (168° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Northville at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Northville is WXXA-TV (Fox), 42 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
