By January 1980, when WGN became the market's second television station to offer a 24-hour schedule (after WBBM-TV, which adopted such a schedule in 1976), the station began to regularly feature an overnight presentation of older black-and-white and some more recent theatrical and made-for-TV movies at 1 a.m. (later 3 a.m. by September 1983), along with a few recent first-run syndicated and older off-network syndicated programs. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="WGN_goes_national_(1978–1995)">WGN goes national (1978–1995)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=WGN-TV&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: WGN goes national (1978–1995)">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/NewsNation_(American_TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="NewsNation (American TV channel)">NewsNation (American TV channel)</a></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:292px;max-width:292px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:177px;max-width:177px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:109px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG" title="File:Bozo's Circus 1968.JPG"><img alt="The Bozo Show" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG/175px-Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG" decoding="async" width="175" height="110" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG/263px-Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG/350px-Bozo%27s_Circus_1968.JPG 2x" data-file-width="813" data-file-height="509" /></a></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:111px;max-width:111px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:109px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg" title="File:Chicago Cubs logo.svg"><img alt="Chicago Cubs" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg/109px-Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="109" height="110" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg/164px-Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg/218px-Chicago_Cubs_logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="127" data-file-height="128" /></a></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">WGN's broadcasts of The Bozo Show and games involving the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bulls became very well-known after the station expanded its national footprint via cable.</div></div></div></div> WGN-TV began to extend its reach outside of the Chicago area beginning in the mid-1970s, when its signal began to be transmitted via <a href="/wiki/Microwave_relay" class="mw-redirect" title="Microwave relay">microwave relay</a> to <a href="/wiki/Cable_television" title="Cable television">cable television</a> providers in areas of the central Midwestern United States that lacked access to an entertainment-based independent station. By the fall of 1978, the Channel 9 signal was transmitted to 574 cable systems—covering most of Western, Central and Southern Illinois as well as large swaths of <a href="/wiki/Indiana" title="Indiana">Indiana</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wisconsin" title="Wisconsin">Wisconsin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Minnesota" title="Minnesota">Minnesota</a>, Iowa, <a href="/wiki/Missouri" title="Missouri">Missouri</a> and <a href="/wiki/Michigan" title="Michigan">Michigan</a>—reaching an estimated 8.6 million subscribers.<a href="#cite_note-91">[84]</a> On November 9, 1978, <a href="/wiki/Tulsa,_Oklahoma" title="Tulsa, Oklahoma">Tulsa, Oklahoma</a>–based satellite carrier <a href="/wiki/Gemstar%E2%80%93TV_Guide_International" title="Gemstar–TV Guide International">United Video Inc.</a> uplinked the WGN-TV signal to a <a href="/wiki/Satcom_(satellite)" title="Satcom (satellite)">Satcom-3</a> transponder for distribution to cable and <a href="/wiki/C-band_(IEEE)" class="mw-redirect" title="C-band (IEEE)">C-band</a> satellite subscribers throughout the United States. (United Video uplinked the station's signal without WGN Continental Broadcasting's consent, using a legal exemption in the <a href="/wiki/1976_Copyright_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="1976 Copyright Act">1976 Copyright Act</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Compulsory_license" title="Compulsory license">compulsory license</a> statute allowing "passive" carriers to retransmit broadcast signals without first seeking the licensee's express permission.) This resulted in WGN-TV joining the ranks of Atlanta independent station WTCG (later WTBS and now <a href="/wiki/WPCH-TV" title="WPCH-TV">WPCH-TV</a>) to become America's second national "<a href="/wiki/Superstation" title="Superstation">superstation</a>", independent stations distributed via <a href="/wiki/Communications_satellite" title="Communications satellite">satellite</a> to cable providers within their respective regions, or throughout the country.<a href="#cite_note-92">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-93">[86]</a> Within a week of attaining national status, WGN-TV added approximately 200 cable systems in various parts of the United States (reaching an estimated one million subscribers) to its total distribution.<a href="#cite_note-94">[87]</a> That cable reach would grow over the next several years: the first heaviest concentrations of availability outside the Midwest developed in the <a href="/wiki/Central_U.S." class="mw-redirect" title="Central U.S.">Central U.S.</a> (where WGN's telecasts of Chicago Cubs baseball, Chicago Bulls basketball and The Bozo Show became highly popular) and gradually expanded to encompass most of the nation. Tribune and station management treated WGN-TV as a "passive" superstation, asserting a neutral position over United Video relaying its signal to a national audience and leaving United to handle national promotion of the WGN signal, instead of handling those responsibilities directly; this allowed the station to continue paying for syndicated programming and advertising at local rates rather than those comparable to other national networks. (Until Tribune began relaying the Chicago feed to the firm directly in 1985, the company was also not compensated directly by United Video for their retransmission or promotion of WGN's signal; Tribune, however, received <a href="/wiki/Royalties" class="mw-redirect" title="Royalties">royalties</a> from cable systems for programs to which it held the copyright.) As such, WGN-TV became the first Tribune-owned independent station to be distributed to a national pay television audience (United Video would later uplink WPIX in May 1984,<a href="#cite_note-95">[88]</a> Netlink began distributing KWGN-TV in October 1987<a href="#cite_note-96">[89]</a> and Eastern Microwave Inc. began distributing KTLA in February 1988<a href="#cite_note-97">[90]</a>) and the first superstation to be distributed by United Video (with WGN and WPIX being joined by <a href="/wiki/Ryman_Hospitality_Properties" title="Ryman Hospitality Properties">Gaylord Broadcasting</a>-owned <a href="/wiki/KTVT" title="KTVT">KTVT</a> [now a CBS owned-and-operated station] in Dallas–Fort Worth in July 1984<a href="#cite_note-98">[91]</a> and, after it assumed retransmission rights from Eastern Microwave, KTLA in April 1988<a href="#cite_note-99">[92]</a>). For about eleven years afterward, the WGN-TV satellite signal carried the same programming shown within the Chicago market.<a href="#cite_note-100">[93]</a> As it gained national exposure, Channel 9 underestimated WFLD's ability to acquire top-rated, off-network syndicated programs. WFLD's respective owners during this timeframe—Field Communications and <a href="/wiki/Metromedia" title="Metromedia">Metromedia</a>, the latter of which acquired WFLD in 1982 as part of Field and partner company <a href="/wiki/Kaiser_Broadcasting" title="Kaiser Broadcasting">Kaiser Broadcasting</a>'s concurring exits from the television industry—were particularly aggressive in their programming acquisitions as they leveraged their independent stations in other major and mid-sized markets for the strongest programs among those entering into <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_syndication" title="Broadcast syndication">syndication</a>. Channel 32 began strengthening its syndication slate in the fall of 1979, when it acquired the local rights to off-network series such as <a href="/wiki/M*A*S*H_(TV_series)" title="M*A*S*H (TV series)">M*A*S*H</a>, <a href="/wiki/Happy_Days" title="Happy Days">Happy Days</a> and <a href="/wiki/All_in_the_Family" title="All in the Family">All in the Family</a>, which helped it edge ahead of WGN-TV in the ratings by the end of that year. Not to stay outdone, after Tribune appointed Robert King to replace Sheldon Cooper (who was promoted to president and CEO of the upstart <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Entertainment" title="Tribune Entertainment">Tribune Entertainment</a> syndication unit) as the station's general manager in 1982, WGN-TV began making its own efforts to acquire stronger first-run and off-network syndicated programs, gaining the rights to series such as <a href="/wiki/Laverne_%26_Shirley" title="Laverne & Shirley">Laverne & Shirley</a>, <a href="/wiki/Good_Times" title="Good Times">Good Times</a>, <a href="/wiki/Little_House_on_the_Prairie_(TV_series)" title="Little House on the Prairie (TV series)">Little House on the Prairie</a> and <a href="/wiki/WKRP_in_Cincinnati" title="WKRP in Cincinnati">WKRP in Cincinnati</a>. WGN's ratings improved throughout the 1980s under the stewardship of King and his successor, Dennis FitzSimons (who would later elevate to President of Tribune Broadcasting, and later to Executive Vice President and then Chairman/CEO of the Tribune Company before stepping down in 2007), firmly overtaking WFLD to again become the market's top-rated independent by the end of the decade. WGN-TV would gain two additional UHF independent competitors over the course of eight months in the early 1980s. On September 18, 1981, Focus Broadcasting signed on <a href="/wiki/Joliet,_Illinois" title="Joliet, Illinois">Joliet</a>-based WFBN (channel 66, now <a href="/wiki/WGBO-DT" title="WGBO-DT">WGBO-DT</a>), initially running a mix of local <a href="/wiki/Public-access_television" title="Public-access television">public-access</a> programs during the daytime hours and the <a href="/wiki/Spectrum_(TV_channel)" title="Spectrum (TV channel)">Spectrum</a> subscription service at night. Then on April 4, 1982, a shared operation over UHF channel 60 launched, involving <a href="/wiki/Fred_Eychaner" title="Fred Eychaner">Metrowest Corporation</a>-owned English-language outlet <a href="/wiki/WPWR-TV" title="WPWR-TV">WPWR-TV</a> (which primarily carried the sports-centered pay service <a href="/wiki/Sportsvision" title="Sportsvision">Sportsvision</a>) and HATCO-60-owned Spanish-language outlet WBBS-TV (now <a href="/wiki/UniM%C3%A1s" title="UniMás">UniMás</a> owned-and-operated station <a href="/wiki/WXFT-DT" title="WXFT-DT">WXFT-DT</a>). (WBBS took over channel 60 full-time after WPWR moved to channel 50 in January 1987, as a byproduct of Metrowest's 1986 buyout of HATCO-60's share of the license and subsequent sale of the allocation to the <a href="/wiki/Home_Shopping_Network" class="mw-redirect" title="Home Shopping Network">Home Shopping Network</a>.)<a href="#cite_note-101">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-102">[95]</a> WGN and WFLD remained the market's strongest independent stations as they both had more robust programming inventories than their competitors. <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:WGN_logo_1983.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/00/WGN_logo_1983.png/160px-WGN_logo_1983.png" decoding="async" width="160" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/00/WGN_logo_1983.png 1.5x" data-file-width="221" data-file-height="209" /></a><figcaption>Former logo, used from August 1983 to May 3, 1993.</figcaption></figure> In August 1983, WGN-TV unveiled one of the most successful station image campaigns in the United States with the launch of the "Chicago's Very Own" campaign. (The slogan—to which WGN holds the trademark rights and continues to be used<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WGN-TV&action=edit">[update]</a> by the station—is a variant of the "Chicago's Own" tagline that had been used in on-air identifications periodically since the 1960s.) Developed by Peter Marino (WGN-TV's director of promotions at the time) and Mike Waterkotte (then the creative director of now-defunct Chicago advertising agency Eisaman, Johns & Law), the campaign promotions focused on the city's people and cultural heritage as well as WGN-TV's local programming efforts, and were accompanied by an imaging theme performed by legendary <a href="/wiki/R%26B" class="mw-redirect" title="R&B">R&B</a> singer and Chicago native <a href="/wiki/Lou_Rawls" title="Lou Rawls">Lou Rawls</a>. The seven-note musical signature of the image theme was also incorporated into two associated <a href="/wiki/Television_news_music" title="Television news music">music packages</a> that were used for the station's newscasts and identifications between 1984 and 1993, while the slogan has served as the title for two other news themes commissioned exclusively for WGN-TV in subsequent years (a John Hegner-composed package used from 1993 to 1997 and a <a href="/wiki/615_Music" title="615 Music">615 Music</a>-composed package that has been used since November 1, 2007) as well as for a weekly profile series that aired from 1988 until 1990 and would evolve into a continuing weekly 9 p.m. news segment. At various points over the years, the "[city/region]'s Very Own" slogan was also adapted by some of its Tribune-owned sister stations (such as WPIX, KTLA and <a href="/wiki/WTTV" title="WTTV">WTTV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis</a>).<a href="#cite_note-103">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-104">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-105">[98]</a> On November 10, 1984, WGN-TV became an affiliate of the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_television_network#MGM/UA_Premiere_Network" title="Fourth television network">MGM/UA Premiere Network</a> <a href="/wiki/Ad_hoc" title="Ad hoc">ad hoc</a> syndicated film service.<a href="#cite_note-106">[99]</a><a href="#cite_note-107">[100]</a> On November 22, 1987, during that evening's edition of The Nine O'Clock News, the <a href="/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion" class="mw-redirect" title="Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion">WGN-TV signal was briefly overridden</a> by video of an unidentified person wearing a <a href="/wiki/Max_Headroom" title="Max Headroom">Max Headroom</a> mask and sunglasses in front of a sheet of corrugated metal imitating the moving electronic background effect used in the character's TV and movie appearances.

(The feed was originally structured similarly to the concurrently launched <a href="/wiki/WWOR_EMI_Service" title="WWOR EMI Service">WWOR EMI Service</a> feed of <a href="/wiki/Secaucus,_New_Jersey" title="Secaucus, New Jersey">Secaucus, New Jersey</a>–based <a href="/wiki/WWOR-TV" title="WWOR-TV">WWOR-TV</a>, albeit with a larger amount of shared programming. However, the amount of common programming between the WGN local and national feeds would decrease significantly during the 2000s and early 2010s as local exclusivity claims reduced the number of WGN-TV programs that Tribune could clear nationally in later years.)<a href="#cite_note-118">[111]</a> Of the four United Video-distributed superstations, WGN was the only one to increase its national coverage after the SyndEx rules were implemented, adding 2.2 million subscribers by July 1990; some systems also replaced WPIX and WWOR with the WGN superstation feed during the early 1990s.<a href="#cite_note-119">[112]</a><a href="#cite_note-120">[113]</a> Among the various community projects in which the station has been involved include the WGN-TV Children's Charities, a charitable foundation established in 1990 through the Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation, benefitting various local organizations that help local children dealing with poverty and medical issues. On <a href="/wiki/New_Year%27s_Day" title="New Year's Day">January 1</a>, 1993, Tribune launched <a href="/wiki/Chicagoland_Television" title="Chicagoland Television">Chicagoland Television</a> (CLTV), a <a href="/wiki/United_States_cable_news" title="United States cable news">local cable news channel</a> that featured rolling news, weather and sports content and public affairs, sports-talk and entertainment news programs, along with having formerly acted as an overflow feed for WGN's sports telecasts. Originally utilizing its own in-house staff and resources from WGN-TV and the Chicago Tribune, CLTV consolidated its operations with WGN-TV on August 28, 2009, at which time the channel's operations were relocated from its original studio facility in <a href="/wiki/Oak_Brook,_Illinois" title="Oak Brook, Illinois">Oak Brook</a> to WGN-TV's Bradley Place studios and editorial control of CLTV was turned over to Channel 9's news department.<a href="#cite_note-121">[114]</a><a href="#cite_note-122">[115]</a><a href="#cite_note-123">[116]</a><a href="#cite_note-124">[117]</a> CLTV's format soon became less reliant on live newscasts, focusing increasingly on repurposed newscasts and local programming from WGN-TV.

Tribune committed six of the seven independent stations it owned at the time to serve as charter affiliates of The WB, though it initially exempted WGN-TV from the agreement, as station management had expressed concerns about how the network's plans to expand its prime time and daytime program offerings would affect WGN's sports broadcast rights and the impact that the potential of having to phase out its sports telecasts to fulfill network commitments would have on the superstation feed's appeal to cable and satellite providers elsewhere around the United States.<a href="#cite_note-128">[121]</a><a href="#cite_note-129">[122]</a><a href="#cite_note-130">[123]</a><a href="#cite_note-131">[124]</a><a href="#cite_note-132">[125]</a> Ironically, despite its concerns with taking the WB affiliation, WGN had also vied to become the Chicago affiliate of the United Paramount Network (<a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a>), a joint venture between <a href="/wiki/Chris-Craft_Industries" title="Chris-Craft Industries">Chris-Craft/United Television</a> and <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Television" title="Paramount Television">Paramount Television</a> that announced its launch plans on October 21.

In exchange, The WB agreed to reduce its initial program offerings to one night per week (from two) in order to limit conflicts with WGN's sports programming. The superstation feed, which reached 37 percent of the country by that time, would extend the network's initial coverage to 73 percent of all U.S. households that had at least one television set. (Prior to that deal, The WB had considered affiliating with WGBO-TV, which <a href="/wiki/Univision" title="Univision">Univision</a> would later purchase and convert into an owned-and-operated station of the Spanish-language network on December 30, 1994. United Video intended to provide an alternate feed of WGN with substitute programming for markets with a WB affiliate; however, no such measure was taken, creating network duplication in markets where over-the-air WB affiliates were forced to compete with the WGN cable feed.)<a href="#cite_note-134">[127]</a><a href="#cite_note-135">[128]</a><a href="#cite_note-136">[129]</a><a href="#cite_note-137">[130]</a> WGN-TV (and its superstation feed) became a charter affiliate of The WB when the network launched on January 11, 1995. Upon joining The WB, WGN's programming remained basically unchanged, continuing to feature syndicated programs, feature films, and locally produced shows. As The WB initially offered prime time programs only on Wednesdays at launch, Channel 9 filled the 7 to 9 p.m. time slot leading into its late-evening newscast with feature films or, from September 1995 until September 1997, programs from the ad-hoc <a href="/wiki/Action_Pack_(TV_programming_block)" title="Action Pack (TV programming block)">Action Pack</a> syndication block on nights when sports events were not scheduled to air. By the time The WB adopted a six-night-a-week schedule (running Sunday through Fridays) in September 1999, the station had relegated its prime time film presentations to Saturday nights.<a href="#cite_note-138">[131]</a><a href="#cite_note-139">[132]</a> Channel 9 chose not to clear the network's <a href="/wiki/Kids%27_WB" title="Kids' WB">Kids' WB</a> block, in favor of airing a local morning newscast and an afternoon sitcom block on weekdays and a mix of news, public affairs and paid programs on Saturday mornings. On February 19, WCIU-TV—which had become an English-language independent full-time as a result of Univision (from which it had aired programming on a part-time basis) moving to WGBO the month prior—reached an agreement with Time Warner to carry the Kids' WB lineup as well as to take on responsibilities of airing WB programs at times when WGN was scheduled to air sporting events during prime time. (Although the network's programming was split between WGN-TV and WCIU locally beginning with the Kids' WB block's September 9, 1995, debut, the WGN superstation feed carried The WB's prime time and children's programs until the stopgap network feed was discontinued.)<a href="#cite_note-140">[133]</a><a href="#cite_note-141">[134]</a><a href="#cite_note-142">[135]</a> Even as Chicago's network-owned stations began adopting network-centric station branding during the mid-to-late 1990s, WGN-TV continued to be referred to on-air as either "WGN Channel 9" or simply "Channel 9"; by 1999, the station began to be referred to mainly by the WGN call letters (as had been the case with the national feed since 1997). By that time, WGN replaced its late-night feature film presentations (except for the Saturday Action Theater showcase) with syndicated sitcoms. During the latter half of the 1990s, most of The WB's remaining national coverage gaps began to be filled through standalone affiliations with UPN charter affiliates, leftover independents and former noncommercial stations as well as dual affiliations with various existing network outlets (mainly UPN stations) within the top-100 media markets, and through the September 1998 launch of The WeB (subsequently renamed <a href="/wiki/The_WB_100%2B_Station_Group" title="The WB 100+ Station Group">The WB 100+ Station Group</a>), a packaged feed of WB network and syndicated programs provided to participating cable-based affiliates in the 110 smallest markets. In January 1999, Time Warner and Tribune mutually agreed to stop relaying WB programming over the WGN superstation feed effective that fall; when this move took effect on October 6, the WGN national feed replaced The WB's prime time and children's program lineups, respectively, with movies and syndicated programs.<a href="#cite_note-143">[136]</a><a href="#cite_note-144">[137]</a><a href="#cite_note-145">[138]</a><a href="#cite_note-146">[139]</a><a href="#cite_note-147">[140]</a> By 2002, <a href="/wiki/Game_show" title="Game show">game shows</a> and additional talk and reality series had been added to the station's schedule, while syndicated animated series were added on weekend mornings. WGN-TV—which continued to carry the network locally—began clearing the entire WB network schedule in September 2004, when it assumed the rights to the Kids' WB lineup from WCIU-TV, effectively becoming the sole remaining station in the Chicago market to run cartoons on weekday afternoons. WGN continued to carry Kids' WB's remaining Saturday morning lineup (which initially aired on a tape-delayed basis on Sunday mornings), after The WB replaced the block's two-hour weekday afternoon slot with the Daytime WB rerun block in January 2006. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Affiliation_with_The_CW_and_superstation_programming_split_(2006–2016)">Affiliation with The CW and superstation programming split (2006–2016)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=WGN-TV&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Affiliation with The CW and superstation programming split (2006–2016)">edit</a>]</div> On January 24, 2006, the <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Entertainment" class="mw-redirect" title="Warner Bros.

WPWR, meanwhile, had disaffiliated from UPN on September 4 and began carrying MyNetworkTV programming upon that network's September 5 launch. As a CW affiliate, WGN-TV had been one of the network's higher-rated affiliates in terms of overall viewership, often drawing more viewers than Fox-owned WFLD—even in prime time, despite the latter's Fox programming. Channel 9 carried the entire CW schedule from the network's launch, including its children's program blocks (Kids' WB, <a href="/wiki/Toonzai" title="Toonzai">The CW4Kids/Toonzai</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vortexx" title="Vortexx">Vortexx</a> and <a href="/wiki/One_Magnificent_Morning" title="One Magnificent Morning">One Magnificent Morning</a>); however, from September 2013 to September 2016, WGN had aired the network's <a href="/wiki/The_CW_Daytime" title="The CW Daytime">daytime talk show block</a>—which had been reduced to one hour (from two) in September 2011—one hour earlier (at 2 p.m.) than other CW affiliates in the <a href="/wiki/Central_Time_Zone" title="Central Time Zone">Central Time Zone</a>, aligning with the block's East Coast airtime. WGN-TV gradually evolved its programming slate during the late 2000s and 2010s, adopting a news-intensive format (expanding its newscast production to 70 hours per week by 2016), and shifting its weekday daytime lineup towards mainly first-run <a href="/wiki/Talk_show" title="Talk show">talk</a> and game shows during the daytime hours; as fewer film packages were offered on the syndication market, its weekend schedule also began relying less on feature films and shifted to incorporate local lifestyle and tourism programs as well as additional first-run and off-network syndicated shows. On April 1, 2007, Chicago-based real estate investor <a href="/wiki/Sam_Zell" title="Sam Zell">Sam Zell</a> announced plans to purchase the Tribune Company in an $8.2-billion <a href="/wiki/Leveraged_buyout" title="Leveraged buyout">leveraged buyout</a> that gave Tribune employees stock and effective ownership of the company. The transaction and concurring privatization of the company was completed upon termination of Tribune stock at the close of trading on December 20, 2007. Prior to the sale's closure, WGN-TV was one of two commercial television stations in the Chicago market, not counting network-owned stations, to have never been involved in an ownership transaction (along with WCIU-TV, which has been owned by Weigel Broadcasting since its February 1964 sign-on).<a href="#cite_note-152">[145]</a><a href="#cite_note-153">[146]</a><a href="#cite_note-154">[147]</a> On December 8, 2008, Tribune filed for <a href="/wiki/Chapter_11_bankruptcy_protection" class="mw-redirect" title="Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection">Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection</a>, citing a debt load of around $13 billion—making it the largest media bankruptcy in American corporate history—that it accrued from the Zell buyout and related privatization costs as well as a sharp downturn in revenue from newspaper advertising.

WGN-TV and WGN Radio would remain with the original entity, which was renamed Tribune Media and was restructured to focus on the company's broadcasting, digital and real estate properties; the newspaper division—which, in addition to the Chicago Tribune, included publications such as the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a>, the <a href="/wiki/South_Florida_Sun-Sentinel" class="mw-redirect" title="South Florida Sun-Sentinel">South Florida Sun-Sentinel</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Sun" class="mw-redirect" title="Baltimore Sun">Baltimore Sun</a>—was spun off into the standalone entity Tribune Publishing (known as Tronc from June 2016 until the company reverted to its former name in October 2018). The split was completed on August 4, 2014, ending the Tribune's joint ownership with WGN-TV and WGN Radio after 66 and 94 years, respectively. However, WGN-TV continues to maintain a content partnership with the Tribune.<a href="#cite_note-158">[151]</a><a href="#cite_note-159">[152]</a> On December 13, 2014, Tribune converted the WGN America national feed into a conventional cable channel that would focus on acquired and original programs, containing significantly more domestic and internationally acquired programming than the channel did prior to its separation from WGN-TV, and switched from a royalty to a <a href="/wiki/Retransmission_consent" title="Retransmission consent">retransmission consent</a> revenue model. As a result, WGN America immediately ceased simulcasts of WGN-TV's Chicago-originated local programming (which was limited to its weekday noon and [until that simulcast was dropped the previous February] nightly 9 p.m. newscasts, select news specials, public affairs programs, special events and sports telecasts, alongside a limited number of off-network syndicated reruns, religious programs and feature films acquired for the Chicago feed). Starting with its addition to <a href="/wiki/Comcast_Xfinity" class="mw-redirect" title="Comcast Xfinity">Comcast Xfinity</a>'s Chicago-area systems on December 16, the changeover allowed cable and IPTV subscribers within the market—as local satellite viewers had been able to do for about two decades—to receive WGN America for the first time. (As a result of the October 2007 separation of <a href="/wiki/TBS_(American_TV_channel)" title="TBS (American TV channel)">TBS</a> from its Atlanta parent WTBS, WGN America had been the last remaining national superstation to be distributed to cable, IPTV, fiber optic and satellite television providers, whereas the other six remaining superstations are distributed outside their home regions mainly on satellite.)<a href="#cite_note-160">[153]</a><a href="#cite_note-161">[154]</a><a href="#cite_note-162">[155]</a> Due to the separation of the local and national feeds, WGN-TV did not carry WGN America's original drama series (such as <a href="/wiki/Salem_(TV_series)" title="Salem (TV series)">Salem</a> and <a href="/wiki/Manhattan_(TV_series)" title="Manhattan (TV series)">Manhattan</a>) outside of preview promotions, limiting the local availability of these programs to subscribers of <a href="/wiki/DirecTV" title="DirecTV">DirecTV</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dish_Network" title="Dish Network">Dish Network</a> and through WGN America's streaming agreement with <a href="/wiki/Hulu" title="Hulu">Hulu</a>.<a href="#cite_note-163">[156]</a> WGN-TV would regain national availability in the spring of 2015, when <a href="/wiki/Channel_Master" title="Channel Master">Channel Master</a> included the Chicago feed among the initial offerings of its LinearTV <a href="/wiki/Over-the-top_media_services" class="mw-redirect" title="Over-the-top media services">over-the-top streaming</a> service.<a href="#cite_note-164">[157]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Return_to_independence_(2016–2024)">Return to independence (2016–2024)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=WGN-TV&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Return to independence (2016–2024)">edit</a>]</div> On May 23, 2016, after a year of protracted negotiations pertaining to financial terms (including the share of reverse compensation that Tribune would pay to keep CW programming on those stations), Tribune Broadcasting and CW managing partner CBS Corporation reached a five-year agreement that allowed twelve of Tribune's thirteen CW-affiliated stations to remain with the network through 2021. Tribune exempted WGN-TV from the renewed agreement, intending to free up its schedule to offer an increased schedule of Chicago Cubs, White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks games in prime time during the calendar year, thereby giving WGN over-the-air exclusivity over all sporting events it is contracted to broadcast for the first time since 1993.<a href="#cite_note-165">[158]</a><a href="#cite_note-166">[159]</a><a href="#cite_note-167">[160]</a><a href="#cite_note-168">[161]</a><a href="#cite_note-169">[162]</a> The WB and The CW each contractually limited the number of network program preemptions, other than those caused by long-form <a href="/wiki/Breaking_news" title="Breaking news">breaking news</a> coverage, that could occur on an annual basis; in compliance with these restrictions, WGN-TV purchased airtime on CLTV (from 1993 to 2002), WCIU-TV (from 1999 to 2015) and WPWR-TV (from 2015 to 2016) to carry certain game telecasts that the station was contracted to produce (totaling roughly 30 per year).

As such, WPWR displaced WLVI in Boston as the largest CW station that is not owned by either Tribune or CBS Corporation.

In addition to its conventional local newscasts, the station produces two late-evening sports news programs: 'GN Sports, a half-hour sports highlight and interview program (airing nightly at 10:30 p.m.),<a href="#cite_note-feder-gnsports-268">[261]</a> and Instant Replay, a 20-minute Sunday evening highlight program (airing during the final 20 minutes of the 9 p.m. newscast). Until regular sports telecasts on WGN-TV ended in September 2019, the station's midday, early and late evening newscasts were subject to (at least, partial) preemption or delay due to local sports telecasts overrunning into that time period; from July 8, 2010, onward, CLTV had served as an alternate broadcaster of WGN-TV newscasts that were preempted by the latter's sports broadcasts and aired live half-hour editions of WGN News at Nine on nights when Channel 9 carried a sports event being held on the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone" title="Pacific Time Zone">West Coast</a> that started locally at 9 p.m. (An additional half-hour live newscast followed the game telecast on WGN-TV, which had originally been titled under the WGN News at Nine brand prior to the 2016 launch of its 10 p.m. newscast.)<a href="#cite_note-269">[262]</a> The WGN-TV weather staff also provides local weather updates for WGN Radio under an agreement that began on October 13, 2008, at the conclusion of <a href="/wiki/The_Weather_Channel" title="The Weather Channel">The Weather Channel</a>'s ten-year content partnership with the radio station.<a href="#cite_note-270">[263]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="News_department_history">News department history</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=WGN-TV&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: News department history">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Federal_Center_20180613_(25).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Federal_Center_20180613_%2825%29.jpg/210px-Federal_Center_20180613_%2825%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="210" height="280" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Federal_Center_20180613_%2825%29.jpg/315px-Federal_Center_20180613_%2825%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Federal_Center_20180613_%2825%29.jpg/420px-Federal_Center_20180613_%2825%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3024" data-file-height="4032" /></a><figcaption>News van outside the <a href="/wiki/Dirksen_Federal_Building" class="mw-redirect" title="Dirksen Federal Building">Dirksen Federal Building</a> in June 2018.</figcaption></figure> Although sports has been a major part of WGN-TV's identity, the station has also been well known in the Chicago area for its news programming, which, through its former co-ownership with the Chicago Tribune, has played an important role since its launch. WGN's news department—which shared operations and management with WGN Radio until the news division was split into separate departments maintained by the respective properties in 1983—began operations along with the station on April 5, 1948, with the launch of its first regular news program, the Chicagoland Newsreel, which was the first television newscast in the Chicago market to consist entirely of filmed coverage. The 15-minute broadcast—which originally aired weeknights at 6:45 p.m., with a midday edition at 11:30 a.m. being added in September 1949—was anchored by <a href="/wiki/News_director" title="News director">news director</a> Spencer Allen (who had been a reporter and news writer for WGN Radio since 1938) and used a large staff of photographers and technicians, many of whom had previously worked for the Tribune; Allen also anchored a 15-minute midday news program for Channel 9, Spencer Allen and the News, from 1951 to 1953.<a href="#cite_note-271">[264]</a> From 1948 to 1965, WGN also produced an additional 15-minute-long newscast at 6:30 p.m., with Austin Kiplinger (to be replaced by Allen in 1953 and then by <a href="/wiki/Lloyd_Pettit" title="Lloyd Pettit">Lloyd Pettit</a> in 1956) reading the news summary and Frann Weigel as the weather anchor; the program was expanded to a half-hour in September 1955, when Newsreel was discontinued in favor of an amended sports news segment (anchored originally by <a href="/wiki/Vince_Lloyd" title="Vince Lloyd">Vince Lloyd</a>). Under Allen's leadership, WGN-TV's newscasts evolved from a "police blotter/fire alarm-type of news operation" to incorporating more in-depth and investigative reports. WGN-TV also was the first Chicago television station to televise a local appearance by a <a href="/wiki/U.S._President" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. President">U.S. President</a> (carrying <a href="/wiki/Harry_S._Truman" title="Harry S. Truman">Harry S. Truman</a>'s 1948 visit to Chicago) and provided mobile coverage of Gen. <a href="/wiki/Douglas_MacArthur" title="Douglas MacArthur">Douglas MacArthur</a>'s visit to the city (in April 1951); it has also provided coverage of the Republican and Democratic presidential conventions each election cycle since 1952, and provided extensive pool coverage of <a href="/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Pope John Paul II">Pope John Paul II</a>'s Mass at <a href="/wiki/Grant_Park_(Chicago)" title="Grant Park (Chicago)">Grant Park</a> in 1979. In September 1951, Channel 9 began carrying a 15-minute late night edition of Chicagoland Newsreel that followed its late evening movie presentations (which began at 10 p.m. at the time). By 1967, the program had evolved into Night Beat, a 30-minute overnight newscast that—until it was discontinued in 1983—featured the main anchor (which had included, among others, Greyson, McNeeley, Cliff Mercer and <a href="/wiki/Jack_Taylor_(journalist)" title="Jack Taylor (journalist)">Jack Taylor</a>) presenting a summary of local and world news headlines as well as a brief weather forecast summary. In February 1955, the station installed a coaxial cable link from the city room of the Chicago Tribune (originally done for the early newscast, First Edition, which aired from 1954 to 1956) to allow Tribune reporters and contributors to provide information on developing stories being covered by the newspaper and the WGN news department.<a href="#cite_note-272">[265]</a> After WGN-TV became an independent station in August 1956, the evening newscast was moved to 7 p.m.—becoming the market's first prime time newscast and often being subjected to sports-induced preemptions—before settling at 10 p.m. in September 1959, originally under the title 10th Hour News (known in later years as The Park-Ruddle News and [Jack Taylor/John Drury and] NewsNine). In May 1960, the late newscast (which, by that point, was anchored by Jim Conway, who also hosted a self-titled daytime talk show at the time) became the first local television news program in the U.S. to expand to a half-hour broadcast. Standard news updates presented by various on-staff anchors—under the title WGN Newsbreak—also ran during the late morning, early afternoon and prime time hours in-between programs.<a href="#cite_note-273">[266]</a> In 1965, WGN appointed the first dual-anchor team ever employed in Chicago television news, as Gary Park (who came to the station from <a href="/wiki/KCRA-TV" title="KCRA-TV">KCRA-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Sacramento" class="mw-redirect" title="Sacramento">Sacramento</a>) and Jim Ruddle (who previously worked at <a href="/wiki/WTVT" title="WTVT">WTVT</a> in <a href="/wiki/Tampa" class="mw-redirect" title="Tampa">Tampa</a>) took the helm of the evening newscasts. On January 9, 1967, WGN shifted the 10 p.m. edition of the newscast by 15 minutes (concurrently reducing it to that length) in an attempt to improve viewership by placing the telephone quiz show The Name Game in the timeslot, reducing competition with late newscasts on WLS-TV, WMAQ-TV and WBBM-TV. (This experiment ended in May 1967, when WGN reverted to carrying the late newscast in its former 10 p.m. slot and expanded it to 25 minutes.) The Park-Ruddle combination was broken up in June 1967, when Ruddle left to join NBC-owned WMAQ-TV, to be followed two years later by Park taking a prime time anchor role at fellow independent <a href="/wiki/KTVU" title="KTVU">KTVU</a> (now a Fox owned-and-operated station) in <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a>.<a href="#cite_note-274">[267]</a><a href="#cite_note-275">[268]</a><a href="#cite_note-276">[269]</a> Also in 1965, WGN premiered its first attempt at a morning news show with Top 'o' the Morning; <a href="/wiki/Orion_Samuelson" title="Orion Samuelson">Orion Samuelson</a>—then a farm reporter for WGN Radio, who would eventually host the syndicated U.S. Farm Report starting in 1975—and Harold Turner (later replaced by Max Armstrong) provided agricultural news and weather. The program was replaced in May 1984 by a traditional morning newscast, Chicago's First Report, which was canceled due to low viewership that December. The WGN news department has long been one of the most respected local television news operations in the United States and has earned several journalism awards throughout its history, including <a href="/wiki/Emmy" class="mw-redirect" title="Emmy">Emmy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Associated_Press" title="Associated Press">Associated Press</a>, <a href="/wiki/United_Press_International" title="United Press International">United Press International</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alfred_I._duPont%E2%80%93Columbia_University_Award" title="Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award">duPont-Columbia Awards</a>. The station has also long established top-drawer talent for its newscasts, many of whom have worked at WGN-TV for more than ten years, including Jack Taylor (anchor/reporter, 1954–1984, whose run included a stint as primary weeknight anchor from 1970 to 1979),<a href="#cite_note-277">[270]</a> Carl Greyson (anchor, reporter and staff announcer, 1955–1980),<a href="#cite_note-278">[271]</a> Marty McNeeley (anchor/reporter, 1969–1986),<a href="#cite_note-279">[272]</a> <a href="/wiki/Robert_Jordan_(newscaster)" class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Jordan (newscaster)">Robert Jordan</a> (anchor/reporter, 1973–1978 and 1980–2016), Muriel Clair (assignment reporter, 1978–present, part-time since December 2011),<a href="#cite_note-280">[273]</a> Dan Roan (sports director, 1984–2022),<a href="#cite_note-281">[274]</a> and Steve Sanders (anchor/reporter, 1982–2020).<a href="#cite_note-282">[275]</a> <a href="/wiki/John_Drury_(television_anchor)" title="John Drury (television anchor)">John Drury</a> joined WGN-TV in 1967 for what would be a three-year stint as anchor of its 10 p.m. news as well as occasionally serving as anchor of Night Beat. After working for WLS-TV for nine years, Drury returned to his former role at WGN in 1979, displacing Jack Taylor as 10 p.m. NewsNine anchor. During his second stint at WGN, Drury took on an expanded role doing assignment and investigative reporting (often producing the reports with investigative reporter Alex Burkholder). In 1982, then-Mayor <a href="/wiki/Jane_Byrne" title="Jane Byrne">Jane Byrne</a>, accompanied by members of her public relations and cabinet staff, tried to talk Drury into shelving a report on Byrne's use of public funds towards city festivals designed to promote her administration in relation to her stint residing in the <a href="/wiki/Cabrini-Green" class="mw-redirect" title="Cabrini-Green">Cabrini-Green</a> housing project. Drury went forward with the investigative report, which aided in Byrne's loss to <a href="/wiki/Harold_Washington" title="Harold Washington">Harold Washington</a> in the 1983 Democratic mayoral primary and would help earn Drury a Chicago Emmy Award for Individual Excellence (the first of four Emmys during his career).<a href="#cite_note-283">[276]</a><a href="#cite_note-284">[277]</a> Another mainstay of WGN-TV was <a href="/wiki/Tom_Skilling" title="Tom Skilling">Tom Skilling</a>, who joined WGN in August 1978 to succeed <a href="/wiki/Harry_Volkman" title="Harry Volkman">Harry Volkman</a> (who presented weather reports for the station from 1967 until 1970 and again from 1974 until the summer of 1978) as the station's main evening meteorologist. Skilling—who was rumored to have been the highest paid local television meteorologist in the United States—would become known for presenting his on-air forecasts with detailed but fairly easy-to-understand analysis and striking accuracy (most noted by his predictions of the <a href="/wiki/Groundhog_Day_blizzard" class="mw-redirect" title="Groundhog Day blizzard">Groundhog Day blizzard</a> two weeks before it created paralyzing effects on the Chicago area in late January and early February 2011), and with routine usage of ensemble computer models to illustrate expected weather scenarios. Skilling also occasionally hosted half-hour documentary specials explaining extreme weather phenomenon and advancements in forecasting technology (including 1991's It Sounded Like a Freight Train, focusing on the science of the Chicago area's climatological history with tornadoes, and 1992's When Lightning Strikes, centering on the science and dangers of lightning), which have earned several Chicago Emmy nominations and award wins, as well as a weekly feature on the 9 p.m. newscast, Ask Tom Why, in which Skilling answered viewer-submitted weather questions (and which served as the basis for a similarly formatted column featured in the Tribune's weather page). Under Skilling, WGN also coordinated the centralization of its weather operations to encompass WGN-TV, WGN Radio, CLTV, and the Tribune, and, in May 2007, became a broadcast partner in the <a href="/wiki/WeatherBug" title="WeatherBug">WeatherBug</a> real-time <a href="/wiki/Automated_weather_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Automated weather station">automated weather observation</a> network (the largest station member by market size). Skilling holds the record as the longest-serving television meteorologist at a single station in the Chicago market, having served as chief meteorologist at WGN-TV for 45 years until he retired from broadcasting on February 28, 2024. (Volkman holds the record as Chicago's longest-serving television meteorologist overall, having worked in the market from 1959 until he retired from broadcasting in 2004, including other stints at WMAQ-TV and WFLD as well as an 18-year run as chief meteorologist at WBBM-TV.)<a href="#cite_note-285">[278]</a><a href="#cite_note-286">[279]</a><a href="#cite_note-287">[280]</a><a href="#cite_note-288">[281]</a><a href="#cite_note-289">[282]</a><a href="#cite_note-290">[283]</a> The late newscast was moved into prime time on March 10, 1980, concurrently becoming known as The Nine O'Clock News (later retitled WGN News at Nine in May 1993, as part of a uniform retitling of its newscasts under the WGN News moniker used in some promotions and report sign-offs since 1981). The shift to the 9 p.m. hour briefly made it the first hour-long prime time newscast in the Midwest and, for its first seven years in that slot, it was the Chicago market's only local television newscast at 9 p.m. Initially airing five nights a week for one hour, the revamped weeknight-only newscast was first anchored by the prior NewsNine team of Drury, Skilling, sports anchor Bill Frink and commentator Len O'Connor. On June 9 of that year, the program switched to a hybrid local-national format that incorporated the <a href="/wiki/Independent_Network_News_(TV_program)" title="Independent Network News (TV program)">Independent Network News</a> (INN)—a Tribune-syndicated nightly news program, later retitled INN: The Independent News in September 1984 and USA Tonight in January 1987, originating from New York sister station WPIX—in place of the locally produced segments that had occupied the 9:30 p.m. half-hour since the March format change. After briefly being relegated to weeknights following the shift to prime time, half-hour weekend editions of the 9 p.m. broadcast were added on October 4, 1980, anchored originally by Larry Roderick and Robert Jordan.<a href="#cite_note-291">[284]</a><a href="#cite_note-292">[285]</a><a href="#cite_note-293">[286]</a><a href="#cite_note-294">[287]</a><a href="#cite_note-295">[288]</a><a href="#cite_note-296">[289]</a><a href="#cite_note-297">[290]</a> By 1985, Drury (who returned to his previous role as main co-anchor at WLS-TV in late 1984) and Denise Cannon (who became the former's co-anchor in 1981 and departed at the end of 1984) were succeeded as principal anchors by Rick Rosenthal and <a href="/wiki/Pat_Harvey" title="Pat Harvey">Pat Harvey</a>. Since the reformatting as a prime time newscast, WGN-TV has been the ratings leader in the 9 p.m. timeslot, with or without news competition in the arena and even at times when weaker-rated shows led into the newscast, and typically holds a larger audience than the 10 p.m. newscast on WBBM-TV. The 9 p.m. newscast's dominance was to such an extent that, from 1984 until 1989 (when it was unseated by KTVU in San Francisco), it had the largest viewership of any prime time local newscast in the United States. Legitimate competition sprang up for The Nine O'Clock News on November 16, 1987, when Fox O&O WFLD debuted an hour-long 9 p.m. broadcast, replacing the separate half-hour 7 and 11 p.m. newscasts it had been producing since its full-scale news operation launched three months earlier.<a href="#cite_note-tvra-wgnnews-298">[291]</a><a href="#cite_note-299">[292]</a><a href="#cite_note-300">[293]</a> Although WFLD aggressively marketed its fledgling newscast towards younger audiences as having a fresher style compared to WGN's more traditional news format, viewer loyalty has continued to propel Channel 9 to first place at 9 p.m. to the present day (with one of the only exceptions being a tie with Channel 32 in the May 1996 sweeps period), even with the WFLD newscast having the Fox prime time lineup as its lead-in. For this reason, WFLD moved its newscast back to its original 7 p.m. timeslot in September 1988, only to return it to 9 p.m. the following year to accommodate the planned expansion of Fox's prime time lineup. A sports highlight and interview program, Instant Replay, originally hosted by sports director Dan Roan until his retirement in May 2022, began accompanying the Sunday edition of the newscast in August 1987. WGN re-expanded its prime time newscast to one hour on June 4, 1990, after Tribune discontinued production of USA Tonight under a collaborative agreement between Tribune and Turner Broadcasting in which the Tribune stations were granted access to <a href="/wiki/CNN_Newsource" class="mw-redirect" title="CNN Newsource">CNN Newsource</a> content and began feeding video footage to the <a href="/wiki/CNN" title="CNN">CNN</a> video wire service.<a href="#cite_note-301">[294]</a><a href="#cite_note-302">[295]</a><a href="#cite_note-303">[296]</a> WGN began programming long-form news outside its established 9 p.m. slot on September 19, 1983, when it debuted Midday Newscope, which grew out of the three-minute-long local news segments that had aired during the INN Midday Edition (which followed the newscast until that program's September 1985 cancellation) since January 1983. Originally anchored by Rick Rosenthal (who was replaced by Steve Sanders, after Rosenthal replaced Drury as 9 p.m. co-anchor in 1984), the newscast—a local version of <a href="/wiki/Telepictures" title="Telepictures">Telepictures</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gannett" title="Gannett">Gannett Broadcasting</a>'s short-lived syndicated format, Newscope—featured a hybrid of local news headlines and weather forecasts and in-depth consumer, financial, entertainment and lifestyle features. The program was reformatted into a more traditional newscast, retitled Chicago's Midday News, on September 17, 1984, and later expanded to an hour in September 1985.<a href="#cite_note-tvra-wgnnews-298">[291]</a><a href="#cite_note-304">[297]</a><a href="#cite_note-305">[298]</a><a href="#cite_note-306">[299]</a> The midday newscast—which concurrently rebranded from WGN News at Noon to the WGN Midday News with the expansion—would eventually expand to 90 minutes (moving to an 11:30 a.m. start) on September 15, 2008; it was subsequently expanded to two hours (moving to 11 a.m.) on October 5, 2009.<a href="#cite_note-tvnc-wgnmiddayeveningnews-307">[300]</a><a href="#cite_note-b&c-wgnnewsboost-308">[301]</a><a href="#cite_note-trib-paynematerre-309">[302]</a> On September 19, 1988, WGN became the first Chicago television station to <a href="/wiki/Closed_caption" class="mw-redirect" title="Closed caption">closed caption</a> its newscasts for the <a href="/wiki/Hearing_impaired" class="mw-redirect" title="Hearing impaired">hearing impaired</a>. On January 25, 1992, the station debuted hour-long 8 a.m. newscasts on Saturdays and Sundays. To accommodate the launch of Chicago's Weekend Morning News (which marked the first major weekend morning news attempt in Chicago television and one of the only instances of a television station carrying a morning newscast on weekends without already having a weekday equivalent) and the concurring moves of Charlando and People to People to Sundays, WGN dropped three long-running religious programs—What's Nu (produced by the Chicago Board of Rabbis), Heritage of Faith (produced by <a href="/wiki/Protestant" class="mw-redirect" title="Protestant">Protestant</a> group Greater Chicago Broadcast Ministries) and Mass for Shut-ins (produced by the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Chicago" title="Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago">Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago</a>)—from its Sunday morning lineup, a move that was criticized by the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago and other religious groups on grounds that the programs catered to diverse religious audiences in fulfillment of the station's public service programming obligations. (The latter two programs were subsequently acquired by WGBO-TV, under an agreement which allowed them to continue to be produced out of the WGN-TV studios.) The Sunday edition was discontinued after the September 4, 1994, broadcast; the Saturday edition would follow suit four years later on December 19, 1998, with then-news director Steve Ramsey citing the need to provide more resources for its weekday morning newscasts. Weekend morning newscasts returned on October 2, 2010, with the debut of hour-long editions at 6 a.m. (shifted to a two-hour block at 7 a.m. on September 10, 2016, following Channel 9's disaffiliation from The CW, and expanded to a third hour on Saturdays until 10 a.m. on January 11, 2020).<a href="#cite_note-310">[303]</a><a href="#cite_note-311">[304]</a><a href="#cite_note-312">[305]</a><a href="#cite_note-313">[306]</a><a href="#cite_note-314">[307]</a><a href="#cite_note-cn-wgnmorenews-200">[193]</a> Morning news programming was extended to weekdays on September 6, 1994, with the <a href="/wiki/WGN_Morning_News" title="WGN Morning News">WGN Morning News</a> debuting as a one-hour broadcast from 7 to 8 a.m., anchored originally by Dave Eckert, Sonja Gantt and meteorologist Paul Huttner. In an effort to improve viewership, the program—which replaced children's programs (including The Bozo Show, which displaced the Sunday edition of the morning newscast) that had previously aired in that time period—was soon reformatted from a more traditional newscast to feature a mix of straight news and entertainment and lifestyle features that use a looser style similar to morning radio programs. This reformatting helped the Morning News to eventually begin beating competing local and national morning news programs—including its closest initial competitor, WFLD's Fox Thing in the Morning (now Good Day Chicago)—in the 25–54 age demographic and in total viewers. (The program would expand to two hours, extending until 9 a.m., on January 8, 1996, with a later hour-long expansion [to 10 a.m.] on September 3, 2013.) An hour-long 6 a.m. "Early Edition" of the newscast debuted on August 5, 1996; this block of the newscast would gradually expand to three hours, beginning with the addition of a 5:30 a.m. half-hour in January 2001 and ending with its July 11, 2011, extension to 4 a.m.<a href="#cite_note-315">[308]</a><a href="#cite_note-316">[309]</a><a href="#cite_note-317">[310]</a><a href="#cite_note-318">[311]</a> (The WGN Morning News became the first WGN-TV newscast to be denied clearance on the national feed in September 1996, with its forced removal reportedly being due to self-imposed exclusivity restrictions concerning the newscast's paid segments and rate charges that the station's sales department would have to pay if the segments aired nationally; simulcasts of the WGN Morning News temporarily returned to WGN America on February 3, 2014, when it began airing the 4 a.m. hour.)

Video from remote and field equipment was initially broadcast in <a href="/wiki/480p" title="480p">480p</a> standard definition following the transition; high definition cameras began to be used for field reports in July 2010, a move which made WGN-TV the first station in the market to broadcast all locally originated portions of its newscasts (including live field reports) in HD. Starting under the direction of now-former news director Greg Caputo, WGN-TV spearheaded a major expansion of its news programming. In addition to the expansions of its existing newscasts, WGN first launched an early-evening newscast on September 15, 2008, when the WGN Evening News premiered as a half-hour weeknight broadcast at 5:30 p.m.<a href="#cite_note-tvnc-wgnmiddayeveningnews-307">[300]</a><a href="#cite_note-b&c-wgnnewsboost-308">[301]</a> The newscast expanded to one hour (starting at 5 p.m.) on October 5, 2009, with Saturday and Sunday editions being added on July 12, 2014.<a href="#cite_note-trib-paynematerre-309">[302]</a><a href="#cite_note-327">[320]</a> The weekday editions of the newscast were later expanded to include a second hour (starting at 4 p.m.) on September 8, 2014, and then to three hours (extending it to the 6 p.m. hour) on April 4, 2017.

The WGN-TV digital signal continued to broadcast on its pre-transition UHF channel 19, with digital television receivers continuing to display WGN-TV's <a href="/wiki/Virtual_channel" title="Virtual channel">virtual channel</a> as its former VHF analog channel 9.

Under CRTC linkage rules first implemented in 1983 that require providers to offer U.S.-based program services in <a href="/wiki/A_la_carte_cable_television" class="mw-redirect" title="A la carte cable television">discretionary tiers</a> tied to Canadian services, WGN-TV/WGN America and other authorized U.S. superstations typically have been sold to prospective subscribers of one or more domestic premium services—such as <a href="/wiki/Crave_(TV_network)" title="Crave (TV network)">Crave</a> (formerly First Choice and The Movie Network), <a href="/wiki/Starz_(Canada)" class="mw-redirect" title="Starz (Canada)">Starz</a> (formerly Moviepix and The Movie Network Encore), <a href="/wiki/Super_Channel_(Canadian_TV_channel)" title="Super Channel (Canadian TV channel)">Super Channel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Super_%C3%89cran" title="Super Écran">Super Écran</a> and <a href="/wiki/Western_Canada" title="Western Canada">Western Canada</a>-based regional pay services <a href="/wiki/Movie_Central" title="Movie Central">Movie Central</a> (the original user of the Superchannel name, now defunct) and <a href="/wiki/Encore_Avenue" title="Encore Avenue">Encore Avenue</a> (also now defunct). However, some providers have chosen to offer WGN in a specialty tier under a related rule that allows for an eligible superstation of the provider's choice to be carried on a non-premium tier. (Although KWGN-TV has also been authorized for carriage by the CRTC since that point, the Denver sister station is not carried on any multichannel television providers within Canada.)<a href="#cite_note-387">[380]</a><a href="#cite_note-388">[381]</a><a href="#cite_note-389">[382]</a> After United Video began offering a separate national feed of WGN upon the stateside implementation the Syndex rules in January 1990, most Canadian cable providers began to replace the Chicago signal with the superstation feed as well. (Among the country's satellite providers, Star Choice [now <a href="/wiki/Shaw_Direct" title="Shaw Direct">Shaw Direct</a>] began carrying the national feed upon the satellite provider's 1994 launch; Bell ExpressVu [now <a href="/wiki/Bell_Satellite_TV" title="Bell Satellite TV">Bell Satellite TV</a>] began distributing the Chicago-area signal when it commenced operations in 1996.) As a network affiliate, WGN-TV provided WB and CW programs to areas of Canada distant from the <a href="/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_border" title="Canada–United States border">Canadian–U.S. border</a> that could not receive over-the-air signals of other WB/CW affiliates from American cities. The WGN local feed was subjected to fewer sports blackouts than WGN America had been subjected to prior to the separation of the national and local feeds, as blackouts of programming to which Canadian broadcasters hold domestic rights apply only to imported U.S.-based specialty channels. However, <a href="/wiki/Simultaneous_substitution" title="Simultaneous substitution">simultaneous substitution</a> rules have applied to certain CW programs that were also carried by Canadian-based terrestrial networks (such as <a href="/wiki/Global_Television_Network" title="Global Television Network">Global</a>, <a href="/wiki/Citytv" title="Citytv">Citytv</a> and <a href="/wiki/CTV_2" title="CTV 2">CTV 2</a>). The WGN-TV feed had also previously been available as part of the <a href="/wiki/NHL_Centre_Ice" title="NHL Centre Ice">NHL Centre Ice</a> sports package, primarily for simulcasts of Chicago Blackhawks games that WGN-TV aired until the <a href="/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_Chicago_Blackhawks_season" title="2018–19 Chicago Blackhawks season">2018–19 season</a>. On January 17, 2007, WGN's main Canadian uplink carrier, <a href="/wiki/Shaw_Broadcast_Services" title="Shaw Broadcast Services">Shaw Broadcast Services</a>, switched its distributed feed of the station to the Chicago signal, a decision believed to have resulted from increased licensing fees for the then-superstation feed; despite this, some providers (including <a href="/wiki/Manitoba_Telecom_Services" class="mw-redirect" title="Manitoba Telecom Services">MTS TV</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cogeco_Cable" class="mw-redirect" title="Cogeco Cable">Cogeco Cable</a>) continued to carry the superstation feed in place of or in conjunction with the Chicago signal. Despite this, some providers continued to carry the national WGN channel in lieu of or—as was the case with providers such as MTS TV and Cogeco Cable—in tandem with the Chicago feed, resulting in the duplication of CW network and many syndicated programs that are available within the country on other networks (such as fellow superstations KTLA and Boston-based <a href="/wiki/WSBK-TV" title="WSBK-TV">WSBK-TV</a>). While the CRTC had approved the Chicago station's broadcast signal and its national cable feed for carriage on any domestic multichannel television provider (including cable, satellite, IPTV and <a href="/wiki/MMDS" class="mw-redirect" title="MMDS">MMDS</a> services), because of the conversion of WGN America from a superstation into an independent general-entertainment service and its resulting programming separation from WGN-TV, on December 15, 2014, Tribune Broadcasting sent notice that it would terminate all Canadian distribution rights for WGN America, effective January 1, 2015;<a href="#cite_note-390">[383]</a> the move was likely done to comply with CRTC genre protection rules in effect at the time, which prohibited the utilization of general entertainment programming formats by domestic or foreign cable channels. The WGN-TV Chicago feed, however, remains authorized for domestic distribution as a superstation. It is carried on Bell Satellite TV channel 1232 across Canada.<a href="#cite_note-391">[384]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=WGN-TV&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Notes">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-lower-alpha"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-10"><a href="#cite_ref-10">^</a> Even though WGNB operated on 98.7 FM, the same frequency that <a href="/wiki/WFMT" title="WFMT">WFMT</a> currently uses (and which Tribune later purchased in the 1960s), there is no continuity between the two stations. </li> <li id="cite_note-12"><a href="#cite_ref-12">^</a> WGN representatives had to amend the application to use channel 9 as its proposed channel assignment after realizing that the initial application listed VHF channel 4, which had already been assigned to <a href="/wiki/Balaban_and_Katz" title="Balaban and Katz">Balaban and Katz Broadcasting</a> for the fledgling WBKB-TV, as the allocation for the proposed station. </li> <li id="cite_note-19"><a href="#cite_ref-19">^</a> McCormick was too ill to attend the event himself; consequently, his speech was read at the ceremony by a business associate. </li> <li id="cite_note-31"><a href="#cite_ref-31">^</a> UPT absorbed WBKB parent Balaban and Katz in March 1949, after <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount Pictures</a> divested its chain of movie theaters by <a href="/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc." title="United States v.
