Michigan has a lot of TV markets that are relatively close together by OTA broadcast standards.
On my cable system in Hillsdale in the late 80's I had:

3 CBS Stations (Lansing, Detroit and Toledo)
3 NBC Stations (Onondaga, Detroit and Toledo)
2 FOX Stations (Detroit and Grand Rapids)
2 ABC Stations (Detroit and Battle Creek)
3 PBS Stations (Detroit, Toledo and East Lansing)

They were obviously picking-up WTVG in Toledo over-the-air as sometimes WZZM
in Grand Rapids would bleed over and interfere with the signal.
