Welcome to TV Garth!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved antennas and TV reception. It was always a thrill to hook up an antenna and see what stations I could get, and see if I could pick up anything from a far distance. With the transition to digital broadcasting happening, my love for OTA (over the air) reception came back and this blog will focus on what channels I'm able to receive via antenna from my home just outside of Toronto, Canada. Plus there may be occasional commentaries on shows that I see while adjusting my reception.

Reception Reports: Jan. 16. 2010 Part 2 WLNS Continues Lansing Through Hamilton's CITS (Along With Stations from Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana!)


This is Part two of a set capturing the INCREDIBLE long distance TV reception of Mid-January! This was my adventure receiving TV stations from Cleveland, OH / Akron, OH / South Bend, IN / Detroit, MI / Lansing, MI / and Kalamazoo, MI [along with analog stations from London, ON and Kitchener, ON] on Jan. 16, 2010 from my home in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Cleveland rolled in intermittently during the night, but Lansing, Mi, Detroit, MI and South Bend, IN stayed strong! I was shocked to receive Detroit's WKBD on RF 14 over top of Buffalo, NY's WUTV! Distances provided are approximate.
