Full Notification

NOAA Weather Radio station WXJ-76 in Champaign, serving east central Illinois on a frequency of 162.550 MHz, will be out of service for an extended period of time, effective immediately.
 
Several nearby NOAA Weather Radio transmitters also serve portions of the WXJ-76 listening area. Maps are available by county. Only the channel number needs to be changed on your radio receiver. Your county number will not change (though if you have multiple counties programmed into your receiver, some may not be available on the new transmitter). Southern and Central Vermilion Co residents should change their NOAA radio channel to Ch 2 (162.425) for Newport, IN.  Residents in northern Vermilion Co should switch to the Crescent City station Ch 5 (162.500) to continue to receive alerts for Vermilion County from the NWS in Lincoln.
