That's cool.

Now if only they aired something worth watching... and didn't have 5 subchannels leeching off their signal and ruining picture quality.

Well, they do have some good sports on there every now and then.  Cubs, Sox, Bulls, and national college stuff too like SEC football and maybe the Big East basketball, but I'm not 100% sure on that last one.  MeTV and MeToo are OK once in a while.

WCIU has a new antenna that protects Grand Rapids, but instead of sending about 28 to 30% signal due north with the old power level, it now sends about 85% signal due north with the higher power.  The new antenna is slightly lower, at 1552 ft. HAAT from 1673 ft. HAAT.  I think Ch. 28 (4) will block it for my location however.
