The Big Red Barn 4 miles south of Clinton, that houses WHOW, WEZC, and dewittdailynews.com, is getting an inside facelift.

The building’s suspended ceiling, which was over 20 years old, is being replaced with brand new ceiling tile.

The work began earlier this month, and is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

Kaskaskia Broadcasting, Inc., owns the stations, and company president Randal J. Miller said it’s a further investment in the Clinton broadcast properties to keep the nearly 40-year-old building up to date.

The building’s broadcast studios were remodeled in 2009, and it got a new roof—with the iconic call letters WHOW installed on the new metal roof—in 2010.  

The entire interior was painted and flooring replaced, during the first quarter of 2013.

KBI took over management of the stations in October 2007, and took possession in January of 2008.

The 2 Clinton stations are part of group owner Miller Media Group’s 8 stations across Central Illinois.
