Tv — Wmeu

Do you have a local “zombie station” in your market—a channel number that still exists legally but has no soul? Or is WMEU uniquely Chicago’s ghost in the machine?

WMEU represents the end of the multiplex dream . In 2009, the digital transition promised us six channels of paradise. Instead, we got 480i reruns of Matlock and “paid programming.” WMEU is the most extreme case: A major market signal (Chicago DMA #3) that has been deliberately soft-canceled. wmeu tv
