WICD 50th Anniversary-Segment 1

This is the first of a series of anniversary segments for the 50th anniversary of the first UHF station in Champaign, Illinois. WICD was originally WCHU, channel 33 in Champaign. WCHU purchased WDAN-TV in 1960 and changed it's call letters to WICD. WDAN-TV went on the air in late December olf 1953. So how old is WICD? Is it 50 or 55? Check out this report as broadcast on WICD, April 24, 2009. Of course, both lower powered stations on channel's 33 and 24 were combined in 1967 to a full powered station on channel 15.
