Comcast drops 22 new HD channels on Bloomington, IL

Finding out that you'll be receiving 11 new high-def channels makes for a fairly enjoyable day -- discover that double that will be arriving and you might as well spark up a formal celebration for the entire neighborhood. Reportedly, Comcast subscribers in the Normal / Bloomington, Illinois region (formerly Insight territory) -- including Bartonville, Bellevue, Creve Coeur, East Peoria, Norwood, Peoria Heights, Peoria, Tazewell County (Peoria), Wasthington and West Peoria -- will be seeing 22 new HD channels as of April 30th. We're also keeping our fingers crossed that this is a precedent that will extend to other areas of the country in the not-too-distant future. Think you can handle the list? It's waiting after the jump (and shown above).
