Prior to the digital transition, WBBM operated their digital facility on low VHF channel 3 at a relatively low power level along side their channel 2 analog transmission.
I was still relatively new here when the digital transition occurred. If a Chicago area code popped up on the caller ID for an inbound call, I would cringe because WBBM was the reason for almost all of those calls. It took them a couple of years to add that channel 26 translator and they finally put their programming on WMEU a couple of months ago, almost 8 years after the transition.
