Overview
WICD in Champaign operates as a semi-satellite. That station simulcasts WICS' network and syndicated programming but airs separate commercials, identifications, and weekday local newscasts. Although WICD maintains its own studios on South Country Fair Drive in Downtown Champaign, master control and some internal operations are based at WICS' facilities. Outside weekday newscasts, commercials on WICD are controlled at the Springfield studios. WICS serves the western portion of the market (Springfield and Decatur) while WICD serves the eastern portion (Champaign/Urbana/Danville).
