WBBM-TV in Chicago is broadcast on digital channel 3, make sure it's being
included in your scans. According to Wikipedia and other sources they will
be changing to channel 12 after the digital transition. This will likely
allow many people to be able to receive the station who currently cannot.
Also interesting to note, WLS will be moving from 52 to 7 after the
transition, making them the only other VHF station in Chicago.
