Updates....
I've got a number of updates that need
to be made to the site,
but as I've announced, I'm writing a book based on the
first ten years of mid Illinois Television....and have been
involved in a lot of research at local libraries. Soon, I hope
to update the first WCIA page with a excerpts from
my manuscript. It won't be complete, as most of the
details will be saved for the book. Be watching for
more updates coming soon!
