Narrative:
We were originally planning runway 27R at ord. Approach gave us runway 22R. We both briefed runway 22R and tuned and identified the localizer frequency. We got busy with entering icing conditions and getting the low temperature lights to go out and subsequently did not change the FMS to have the runway 22R data in it. FMS still had runway 27R data. Approach gave us a turn right to heading 200 degrees to intercept but it did not look good to us. They then gave us turn right heading 230 degrees to intercept. We then had the airport in sight and they gave us a cleared visual to runway 22R. We went raw data and intercepted the runway 22L localizer from a little left of centerline. Approach continued normally. There was no traffic conflict. We should have confirmed the FMS had the correct runway in it when we briefed runway 22R.

Title: ALTHOUGH THEY HAD TUNED THE ILS; MD83 FLT CREW FAILS TO PROGRAM LATE RWY CHANGE AT ORD INTO FMS. SOME CONFUSION RESULTS BEFORE THE ERROR IS RECOGNIZED.
Narrative: WE WERE ORIGINALLY PLANNING RWY 27R AT ORD. APCH GAVE US RWY 22R. WE BOTH BRIEFED RWY 22R AND TUNED AND IDENTIFIED THE LOCALIZER FREQ. WE GOT BUSY WITH ENTERING ICING CONDITIONS AND GETTING THE LOW TEMP LIGHTS TO GO OUT AND SUBSEQUENTLY DID NOT CHANGE THE FMS TO HAVE THE RWY 22R DATA IN IT. FMS STILL HAD RWY 27R DATA. APCH GAVE US A TURN RIGHT TO HDG 200 DEGS TO INTERCEPT BUT IT DID NOT LOOK GOOD TO US. THEY THEN GAVE US TURN RIGHT HDG 230 DEGS TO INTERCEPT. WE THEN HAD THE ARPT IN SIGHT AND THEY GAVE US A CLRED VISUAL TO RWY 22R. WE WENT RAW DATA AND INTERCEPTED THE RWY 22L LOCALIZER FROM A LITTLE LEFT OF CTRLINE. APCH CONTINUED NORMALLY. THERE WAS NO TFC CONFLICT. WE SHOULD HAVE CONFIRMED THE FMS HAD THE CORRECT RWY IN IT WHEN WE BRIEFED RWY 22R.
