Champaign-Springfield-Decatur is a classic tri-city market, with three distinct communities that may not have quite as much interest in a house fire or school-board meeting on thernother side of the DMA. Champaign has the University of Illinois, Springfield's got the government, and Decatur has a manufacturing base.rnWhat Nielsen calls a market might not be seen that way by residents. "It's a very provincial market," says WICS-WICD General Manager Tim Mathis. "People in the small cities might not seernthemselves as the same community as people in other parts."
