Although it identifies as a station in its own right, it is considered a semi-satellite of sister station WICS in Springfield/Decatur. This station simulcasts WICS except during local newscasts, commercials, and station identifications. Master control and some internal operations of WICD are based at WICS' facilities on East Cook Street in Springfield. Outside newscasts, commercials on WICD are controlled at the Springfield studios. WICS serves the western portion of the market (Springfield and Decatur) while WICD serves the eastern portion (Champaign/Urbana/Danville).
