Even though the Peoria market is concentrated over a generally small area, not all channels will be watchable across the entire area. If you have questions about what you expect to receive, click on the "coverage area" links for each station above.l Find your location on the coverage area map(s), and if you are located within the circular coverage area, you'll have a better chance of receiving the station you're seeking. Even from within the coverage area, your reception will depend on your antenna placement and the directionality of your antenna, and the geography of your area.
