# WCIA ## About WCIA has been the go-to source for news in Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding counties for decades. They cover everything from high school sports to city council meetings without the big-city gloss. Their team focuses on stories that hit home for farmers, small business owners, and families who live here year-round. The station runs a solid morning show that gets people out the door with the right forecast and traffic updates. Viewers stick around because the reporters actually live in the area and know the back roads and local names. Over the years they have built a reputation for straight reporting instead of hype. WCIA also puts real effort into severe weather coverage when storms roll through. Their digital side has grown steadily so people can catch clips on their phones during the workday. The sales team works with local car dealers, hospitals, and farm suppliers rather than chasing national accounts. Community involvement shows up in sponsorships for county fairs and charity drives. **Areas of Work:** Broadcast Television, Local News, Weather Reporting ## Things to Remember - **Website:** https://wcia.com - **Address:** Champaign, United States - **Contact:** - **Phone:** - **Hours:** - **Timezone:** - **Currency:** - **Company Type:** Private - **Employees:** 51-200 - **Revenue:** Not Disclosed - **Hiring Status:** Not currently hiring ## Prod
