TV for the weekend games

[The Hawk]

Does anyone know whether the Friday and Saturday games will be televised here in Peoria?

Just read that WMBD (ch 31) will televise the Illinois games 7:30 Friday, and whenever they play Saturday (5:30 or 7).
That means Bradley's Friday game is not on TV, but if they meet Illinois on Saturday, it will be on 31.

Unless a Chicago station has an agreement with WCIA, it WILL NOT be on TV anywhere else except WMBD TV. WCIA is using their own equipment, so it's considered a local sports broadcast (just like when WEEK TV in Peoria broadcasts the BU games). Sorry....

One of the hangups for the local channels is that ESPN+ owned the rights to the game.

WCIA and WMBD are sister stations. I don't know if Nexstar owns a station in the Chicagoland area.
