10/12: Champaign/Decatur/Spingfield, IL Locals

[stanswx]

Looks like the rumors are true... I got up this morning and poked in my zip code on the DTV site and my locals showed up! I ordered them and am awaiting the receiver to download whatever it has to do for it to work. Here's the list of channels we get in the Champaign/Decatur/Springfield, IL area:

Network Affiliate Local Channel #
CBS WCIA 3
PBS WILL 12
PBS WSEC 14
ABC WAND 17
NBC WICS 20
WB WBUI 23
UPN WCFN 49
FOX WRSP 55

It's been a LONG wait, now just a few minutes longer for the guide to update and we'll see what happens. I poked in a couple of the other zip codes and here's some more locals that are available today:

Johnstown-Altoona, PA
Toledo, OH
Wausau-Rhinelander, WI
Tri-Cities TN-VA (Johnson City, TN)

So good luck to all getting their locals today and congrats!!

Locals

Hey Stan, I too live in Champaign and that is great news about our locals. Question, with the Fox affiliate that we would be getting with locals, if the Bears are playing and Rams are playing at the same time does Champaign get to see the Bears or are we stuck seeing St. Louis games?
