WBLN was Bloomington's first TV station which went on the air in late 1953. Originally as an ABC station, it went dark in 1957, only to be resurected in 1958 as an independent....but it didn't last long. Check out the History of WBLN along with the other stations in the Peoria/Bloomington market, on the updated The Others Page! |

Corrected some format problems for those of you
who view this site on widescreen monitors.
The problem wasn't obvious to me, until I got
my own widescreen monitor
Also, some of you were having problems
being able to hear the various Real Audio files.
So, I went through each one, reprocessed
each one, adjusted the volume on each,
equalized and cleaned them up the best
that my software could do(keep in mind that
each file was recorded from cassettes,
some of them are as old as 40 years!)
If you haven't been able to hear some of them,
give them a listen. If you have any problems
with any of them, let me know.
Once again you'll need Real Audio.
