Channel 3 looks to rival ABC in Southern Illinois news
Channel 3 WSIL in Harrisburg undergoes a management change with Mackie Nicholas and John Kirby purchasing 46 percent each. A $1 million investment aims to launch a third local newscast in Southern Illinois, challenging Channel 6 in Paducah and Channel 12 in Cape Girardeau. Channel 3 plans to expand staff, upgrade equipment, and focus on all Southern Illinois news while considering future sports, syndicated programs, and potential local basketball telecasts.
