I don't have it :( ....DISH Network makes you move up to their Top 200 package to get it, I think. Which is odd since it's on so many BASIC BASIC cable packages. Who else doesn't get it? I feel like I'm missing so much!

I don't have cable at all - and I don't miss it at all (probably because I've never had it! :lol:). Thank goodness for the shows on DVD!!

I have about 400 channels, but not WGN America. Oh well.

I don't get it via Comcast in Brick, NJ. A shame since it has some good classics plus WWE Superstars.

Actually, although I can't get it via my DISH Network package (you have to have America's Top 200), Charter Cable in Greenville/Spartanburg/Anderson, SC provides it in all packages. So it is available in my area, just don't have the service.

Here in Canada WGN is not available on basic cable due to CRTC (Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission) regulations. It is available on digital cable and satellite but since I only have basic cable I don't get it.

I have Comcast expanded basic and we've never had WGN either. Although we can get TBS, so go figure.

AT&T U-Verse used to carry WGN America, but for some stupid reason they just swiped it off my cable line-up out of nowhere as if someone hacked my channel line-up.

Screw Cable!

So does this mean you will have the Sunday Ticket this upcoming season?

No I don't really need it since I get most of the Cowboy games anyway. I still get most of the same locals that I had before. I can still get all Eagle and Redskin games. I just finally got tired of the way Comcast treats it's customers. I still get the NFL network though.

Nope.

it may be on the digital tier here, but I'm not going that route.

Well Comcast made a deal with the NFL network but it does't matter to you now-lol
