WGN-TV, virtual channel 9 (digital channel 19), is a television station in Chicago, Illinois. It has been owned by the Tribune Company since its inception, and is an affiliate of The CW Television Network. WGN-TV's studios and offices are located in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago, and the station transmits signal from the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower).

WGN Television is one of several flagship properties owned by the Tribune Company, which also owns radio station WGN (720 AM) and publishes the Chicago Tribune, whose slogan ("World's Greatest Newspaper") was the basis for the call letters used by both stations. The Tribune Company also operates Chicago area cable news channel Chicagoland Television (CLTV), which shares resources from both WGN-TV and the Chicago Tribune.

WGN-TV is also a pioneering superstation, and continues to program an alternate feed for cable and satellite subscribers throughout the United States known as WGN America (formerly Superstation WGN). Ironically, the "superstation" feed remains unavailable to Chicago-area cable subscribers, despite vastly different programming offerings. However, WGN America is available in the Chicago area on DirecTV and Dish Network.

WGN's longtime slogan, "Chicago's Very Own", was the basis for a popular image campaign of the 1980s and 1990s, as performed by Lou Rawls.

History

WGN Television began test broadcasts in February 1948 and began regular programming on April 5 with a two-hour special, "WGN-TV Salute to Chicago", at 7:45 p.m. Early on, WGN-TV was affiliated with the CBS and DuMont networks, sharing both with WBKB (channel 4). As a sidebar to the February 1953 merger of ABC and United Paramount Theatres, channel 9 lost its CBS affiliation. CBS had purchased the license to operate channel 4 in Chicago (now WBBM-TV, which later moved to channel 2), and moved all of its programming there, leaving channel 9 with DuMont.

WGN-TV soon became one of DuMont's strongest affiliates, as well as a major production center for that network. Several DuMont programs were produced from WGN-TV's facilities, including: The Al Morgan Show; Chicago Symphony; Chicagoland Mystery Players; Music from Chicago; The Music Show; They Stand Accused; This is Music; Windy City Jamboree; and Down You Go. When DuMont ceased operations in 1956, WGN-TV became an independent station. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.

After becoming an independent, WGN-TV spent much of the next two decades as the top-rated independent station in Chicago, offering a variety of general-entertainment programs including movies, sports, off-network reruns, and children's shows. For much of its existence, channel 9 produced a large amount of its own programming at its own studios. An historic moment in Chicago's local television programming occurred when Sheldon Cooper launched a musical variety show for 13 weeks entitled "The All-Time Hits" featuring The Buckinghams in color. Notable WGN-TV productions included several incarnations of the immensely popular Bozo's Circus, Ray Rayner and His Friends, and Garfield Goose and Friends (which was hosted by Frazier Thomas). A popular children's educational series at the time was The Space Explorers. WGN-TV also telecasted performances of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, beginning in 1953, when Fritz Reiner was the orchestra's music director. From 1974 until 1982, Phil Donahue's syndicated talk program originated from WGN-TV.

The station began broadcasting via satellite in 1978. This signal was picked up by many fledgling pay-cable television systems, as well as directly by satellite dish owners. This continent-wide exposure elevated WGN-TV to superstation status. Along with WOR-TV (now WWOR-TV) in New York City and WTBS (now WPCH-TV) in Atlanta, WGN-TV was among the first local stations to become a superstation.

But as WGN-TV gained national exposure, the station became vulnerable in the Chicago area and underestimated the ability of one of its UHF competitors, WFLD-TV (channel 32), to acquire top-rated programs such as M*A*S*H, Happy Days and All in the Family. As a result, WFLD finished ahead of WGN-TV in the ratings by the end of 1979. WGN-TV continued with its format, competing with WFLD and another UHF independent, WSNS-TV (channel 44).

In 1990, due to syndication exclusivity rules, WGN-TV launched a separate national feed with alternate programming about half the time. It was a similar situation at WWOR-TV and the national "WWOR-EMI Service".

In 1994, weekday morning children's programming was replaced by WGN Morning News. However a few years later, the Morning News was dropped by the national feed, reportedly because certain segments of the newscast are not allowed to air outside of Chicago. The national feed still airs the second hour of Midday News, as well as the late evening 9 p.m. newscast (however, the first hour of WGN Midday News and the 5 p.m. WGN Evening News do not air for undetermined reasons). Also in 1994, the The Bozo Show was moved from weekday mornings to Sunday mornings until 2001, when the program was controversially discontinued by station management.

In 1995, WGN-TV became a network affiliate once again when it and all of Tribune's other independent stations joined the newly-launched WB Television Network. The new network was operated by the Warner Bros. Television division of Time Warner, and Tribune held a minority interest, therefore in a sense making WGN-TV a defacto WB owned-and-operated station. Channel 9 aired primetime WB network programming in the Chicago area but chose not to air Kids' WB, the network's block of children's programs. Those shows aired instead on WCIU-TV (channel 26), which had dropped its Spanish-language Univision affiliation at the start of 1995 for an English-language, general entertainment schedule. Initially, Superstation WGN aired WB primetime and children's programming nationally. This was done to make WB programming available in areas not yet served by a WB affiliate. In 1999, at the network's request, Superstation WGN stopped carrying primetime WB and Kids' WB network programming. By this time, The WB felt its national footprint was large enough that Superstation WGN didn't need to carry its programming. In 2004, WCIU-TV dropped Kids' WB programming and it was moved to WGN-TV's Chicago area signal.

In January 2006, The WB and UPN networks announced that they would merge to form a new network, The CW Television Network. On the same day the new network was announced, it also signed a 10-year affiliation agreement with most of Tribune's WB stations, including WGN-TV. The new network launched on September 18, 2006. The WGN America national feed does not carry any CW programming.

Although WGN America continues to be distributed in Canada, the Chicago area feed of WGN-TV is also carried by Bell TV and Shaw Direct satellite services, as well as most Canadian cable services. Bell TV has always carried the Chicago area feed but Shaw Direct and many cable services that carried Superstation WGN switched on January 17, 2007 when Shaw Broadcast Services, a primary supplier of Superstation WGN in Canada, switched to the Chicago area feed.

On April 2, 2007, Chicago investor Sam Zell announced plans to purchase the Tribune Company, with intentions to take the publicly-traded firm private. The deal was completed on December 20, 2007. Prior to the close of the sale, WGN-TV was one of two Chicago commercial television stations to have never been involved in an ownership transaction (WCIU is the other, having been owned by Weigel Broadcasting since its launch in 1964).

On July 19, 2008, WGN-TV began broadcasting its newscasts in High Definition, becoming the third Chicago station to do so, and instituted new on-air graphics. Several months earlier, the station also debuted Chicago's Very Own by 615 Music, as its new news music package (it is the second news theme to use the Chicago's Very Own name after an earlier news package composed by John Hegner, used from 1993 to 1997). On February 4, 2009, Tribune Broadcasting announced it was merging CLTV with channel 9's news department.

Max Headroom pirating incident

Main article: Max Headroom pirating incident

On November 22, 1987, during The 9 O'Clock News sportscast, WGN-TV's Chicago area signal was hijacked for approximately 25 seconds by an unknown person wearing a Max Headroom mask. This was only the first incident of that night involving the interruption of a television station's broadcast signal. Approximately two hours later, Chicago PBS station WTTW (channel 11) had its broadcast interrupted by the same person. WGN-TV's analog transmitter was atop the John Hancock Center and engineers were almost immediately able to thwart the video hacker by changing the studio-to-transmitter frequency, thus cutting the hacker off. Unfortunately for WTTW, its transmitter was atop Sears Tower and it was unable to stop the hacker before enduring almost two minutes of the hacker's interruption. These two stations are two of only six existing victims of what is called "broadcast signal intrusion". Subscription television networks HBO and Playboy TV, Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate WJLA-TV, and the Comcast cable systems in Nashville, Tennessee, Lincroft, New Jersey and Tucson, Arizona are among the other victims.

Digital television

WGN-TV's signal is multiplexed:

Virtual Channel	Physical RF Channel	Video Resolution	Aspect Ratio	Name	Programming
9.1	19.1	1080i	16:9	WGN-DT	Main WGN-TV Programming/CW HDTV
9.2	19.2	480i	4:3	LATV	Programming from LATV in SDTV

WGN-TV is broadcasting digtially on its current pre-transition channel number, 19. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers are displaying WGN-TV's virtual channel as 9. Also, the "WGN-TV" callsign was legally transferred from the now-defunct analog channel 9 to digital channel 19 on June 12, 2009, with the "WGN-DT" callsign being discontinued; however, WGN-TV's PSIP still identifies the main channel on 9.1 as "WGN-DT."

In late June 2008, WGN-TV added LATV as a subchannel to its digital broadcast, as part of a deal between three Tribune Broadcasting stations (KDAF in Dallas and WPIX in New York City being the other two) and LATV. This subchannel originally aired The Tube Music Network until it shut down in October 2007, and then switched to a simulcast of the main WGN-TV channel with Spanish language dubs added to some of its programs in later months until the arrival of LATV.

From June 13 to July 12, 2009, WGN-TV was simulcasting its 9pm newscasts (except when sports schedules intervene) on WWME-CA's analog signal on channel 23 to provide an "lifeline" for viewers who were unprepared or has reception issues when the DTV transition was completed. Also in that month span, WWME-CA also aired the WMAQ's early morning & early evening newscasts.

In the far northern suburbs of Chicago and rural areas north and west, WMTV out of Madison, Wisconsin interferes with reception of WGN, especially in Kane, Boone and McHenry Counties—both WMTV and WGN broadcast their digital signals on channel 19.

Programming

Syndicated programming

WGN-TV's current schedule consists of all CW programming airing in pattern, which may occasionally be preempted by sports programming if it is scheduled for primetime. Channel 9 is different from many CW stations (and Fox, CW and MyNetworkTV stations in general) in that it airs Live with Regis & Kelly; despite being an ABC owned-and-operated station, WLS-TV does not carry that program due to the fact that it airs The Oprah Winfrey Show live at 9AM (an earlier timeslot than the 4PM timeslot most television stations carry it), when stations generally air Live; Rachael Ray generally follows Live. During the early afternoon following the midday newscast, the station airs a double run of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, followed by Maury, and then The CW Daytime lineup, which features a double run of The Tyra Banks Show. The station's early-evening lineup following the 5PM news consists of Two and a Half Men and Family Guy.

After The CW's primetime lineup and the 9PM newscast, second episodes of Family Guy and Two and a Half Men air along with According to Jim, a double-run of Friends and a second episode of Maury. Infomercials, followed by The Hills and a double-run of The Andy Griffith Show complete the station's late night lineup, with the latter ending the broadcast day at 4AM. Varied sitcoms air through the weekends, along with two movies on Sunday afternoons, along with episodes of Storm Stories, Legend of the Seeker, Smash Cuts, Da Vinci's Inquest and The Outer Limits.

The station carries the minimum amount of educational and informational children's programming, as the The CW4Kids lineup features one hour of E/I shows, and the station airs a two-hour block of Degrassi: The Next Generation Sunday mornings at 7am. As of September 2009, the only "SyndEx-proof" shows airing on WGN-TV that air on the WGN America feed are the religious program Singsation!, the local public affairs program People to People, Legend of the Seeker, Smash Cuts and until early 2010 WWE Superstars.

Sports programming

Throughout its history, WGN-TV has had a long association with Chicago sports. Perhaps with the exception of the NFL's Chicago Bears, each of the city's major professional sports franchises, along with several area collegiate teams, have had its games televised over channel 9.

The station's relationship with the Chicago Cubs goes back to channel 9's inception in 1948, and was further cemented in 1981 when the Tribune Company purchased the National League franchise. At the same time, channel 9 was also broadcasting games of Chicago's American League team, the White Sox. Jack Brickhouse, the longtime sports director (and later vice president of sports programming) for the WGN stations, handled home game play-by-play duties for both teams until 1967, when the White Sox ended their first stint on WGN-TV, and continued to call Cubs games until his retirement from broadcasting in 1981. With both teams, Brickhouse called over 5,000 baseball games during his career, sharing the booth with announcers such as Milo Hamilton, Lou Boudreau, Vince Lloyd, and Lloyd Pettit.

WGN regained broadcast rights for the White Sox in 1973, but it opted to enter into a contract with rival independent WSNS-TV to have that station carry the games, instead of WGN, an arrangement that lasted until the 1980 season. With this, legendary broadcaster Harry Caray joined the WGN family, occasionally sitting in as a sportscaster on the station's newscasts in the 1970s. WGN carried White Sox games alone in 1981, but the following year, WGN lost that team's rights to WFLD-TV, and with the retirement of Brickhouse, Caray was dispatched from the South Side to replace Brickhouse as the Cubs' lead TV voice. For the next 16 years, primarily working with analyst Steve Stone, Caray further established his place among Chicago's most-beloved personalities. Like Brickhouse, Caray was known for displaying an unapologetic, home team-oriented enthusiasm to his game calls, punctuated with memorable signature catchphrases for big plays (such as Caray's "Holy Cow!" and Brickhouse's "Hey-hey!"). Caray also brought his unique rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch to the channel 9 broadcast booth. With WGN-TV's prominence as a national superstation in the 1980s and '90s, Caray's fan base—and that of the Cubs—grew beyond Chicago and the Midwest.

After moving their games to WFLD-TV in 1982 for an eight-year-long run, the White Sox came back to WGN-TV in 1990 when co-owner Jerry Reinsdorf agreed to long-term deals with the station for both the Sox and his NBA franchise, the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls returned to WGN-TV at the start of the 1989-90 season, just in time for the Bulls' dominance of the NBA during the Michael Jordan era. The team had been on channel 9 previously from their inception in 1966 until 1973, and again from 1976 until 1985; Jack Brickhouse, Lorn Brown, Milo Hamilton, and a young Bob Costas were among those assigned to work as Bulls play-by-play announcers, with Johnny "Red" Kerr serving as an analyst.

The NHL's Chicago Blackhawks were carried by the station from 1961 until 1975.This also includes selected Stanley Cup Finals games in 1962,1971,and 1973 when the Blackhawks were in the Finals. WGN-TV's broadcasts were limited to away games only, as Blackhawks owner Bill Wirtz had long prohibited televised coverage of his team's home games. Following Bill Wirtz' death in September 2007, his son and successor Rocky Wirtz ended the home TV blackout, and announced on April 1, 2008 that channel 9 would become the Blackhawks' new broadcast home. The station will air 20 games per season through a three-year contract starting with the 2008–09 campaign.

In November 2000, WGN-TV and WCIU-TV entered into a programming arrangement involving sports coverage. Selected Bulls and White Sox games, and a handful of Cubs games, produced by and contracted to air on WGN-TV are broadcast on WCIU-TV for the Chicago market only. This is due to network affiliation contracts limiting the number of programming preemptions per year, and also due to rights restrictions put in place by the NBA which limit the WGN America feed to fifteen Bulls games per season. The remaining Bulls games produced by WGN-TV are split between the station's Chicago area signal and WCIU-TV. Blackhawks games on channel 9 are exclusive to the Chicago market. All regular-season games airing on WGN-TV are produced in high definition.

WGN-TV Chicago only games are also on wgn in Canada cable and sat systems as they use the same feed. They also show up on NHL CI (Canada), NBA LP (Canada) and MLB EI (Canada)

Along with its coverage of professional teams, WGN-TV formerly broadcast football and basketball games of Chicago area college teams, such as Northwestern University, DePaul University, Loyola University, and other teams of the Big Ten Conference.

News Operation

Appropriate for a station owned by the Tribune Company, news has played an important role on WGN-TV from the station's beginnings. WGN-TV currently broadcasts a total of 42 hours of local news per week (with eight hours on weekdays and one hour each on Saturdays and Sundays). In addition, the station airs a 20-minute sports highlight show called Instant Replay, hosted by longtime sports director Dan Roan, on Sunday nights at 9:40PM/CT.

WGN America, the national superstation feed, does not run all of WGN's newscasts. The WGN Morning News was dropped by the national feed in the late 1990s due to SyndEx rules prohibiting certain segments of the newscast from airing outside the Chicago area (this is the only known incidence in which Syndex rules caused the preemption of a newscast on cable systems outside of the main viewing area). The national feed does air the 9 p.m. newscast (which is preempted on WGN America if a sporting event airs on the Chicago area feed that is not cleared to air on the superstation feed) and the Noon-1 p.m. block of the midday newscast (the 11 a.m.-Noon portion of the midday newscast and the 5 p.m. newscast do not currently air on the superstation feed).

WGN-TV's 9 p.m. newscasts usually beat Fox-owned WFLD-TV (channel 32)'s head-to-head in the ratings, despite the latter's Fox lead-in, and generally have a larger audience than CBS-owned WBBM-TV's news has at 10 p.m. WGN-TV's newscasts are well known in the Chicago area for the longevity of its on-air news staff. Current news anchors Dina Bair, Jackie Bange, Robin Baumgarten, Robert Jordan, Micah Materre, Allison Payne, Larry Potash, Steve Sanders, meteorologists Paul Konrad, Jim Ramsey, Tom Skilling, sports anchor Rich King and sports director Dan Roan have all worked for WGN-TV for ten years or more.

Currently, WGN and WFLD are the only two major local broadcast news outlets in the Chicago area who are not broadcasting their newscasts from a "street side studio." In September 2008, WGN-TV debuted a half-hour early evening newscast airing from 5:30 to 6 p.m., competing against the national network newscasts on WBBM, WMAQ-TV and WLS-TV and extended their midday newscast by a half-hour airing from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. On October 5, 2009 WGN expanded its early evening newscast to one hour, running from 5-6 p.m. and also expanded its midday newscast by an additional half-hour to two hours long, now running from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
