I love WGN; I have the network here in Southern California, and watch The Rockford Files, and right now WGN is showing McMillan and Wife

Dean Winchester · 07-09-2004, 02:45 PM

anyone else remember the days when WGN used to broadcast the WB series? Like Buffy, Charmed, Dawson's Creek? this was in the late 90's, but at the beginning of the 99-00 TV season, they switched, so my city went Buffy/Charmed-less for a few weeks until we came up with our very own WB channel.

My mom just told me that we dont get WGN in our area, along with Hallmark Channel.

I watch The Rockford Files on there, too.

WGN's been around in my area for more than 20 years and fortunately, I've been able to watch it all that time.

I haven't seen WGN since the 1980's.

Here, the WGN Superstation feed is right on lower-end basic cable, on Ch. 9 (Think about that a second, the significance will come to you...)

As for that WB station that airs UPN content: Until last season, the WB affil available over-the-air (Read: Antenna) here did the same thing...

combsisthebest · 07-10-2004, 01:20 AM

Yes it's funny we don't have WGN Superstation, but TBS has been channel 11 for a long time.

Yeah, I dont have WGN Superstation, but I have TBS as Channel 39.

When I first got TBS in 1978 it was on channel 10 and WGN originally was on channel 8 around 1981 or 1982. Then as I got more channels they moved to higher numbers. This was in NC. When I first moved to PA I didn't get any of these channels and I still don't have WGN back.

My WGN is channel 16 and TBS is 17, I usually only watch WGN for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air

It's unreal to me that your area is without that channel. What a load of bull. Somebody needs to write up a petition so they'll offer it!

I dont get in in my area either.

What shows do they have?

They air:
Rockford Files
Matlock
In the Heat of the Night
Cosby Show
Fresh Prince
Beverly Hillbillies
Happy Days
Home Improvement
Will & Grace
Becker

I may have left something out, but I think that's it

I wish there was a way to combine WGN's local and national programming together, the local programming is no better than any other typical WB station.

However, here's what I would do with WGN's local and national feed, make them into one station (meaning what you see in Chicago is exactly what you see elsewhere). Realistically, I know this would never happen because programming rights, etc., but this is for fantasy purposes.

Weekdays--all times Central

11:30 The Beverly Hillbillies
12pm WGN News at Noon

There's no way of that happening here in San Antonio since my cable system where I live I have WGN(the national feed) and the WB Station KRRT-WB35-San Antonio. You can't have 2 WB stations competing against each other with the same lineups.
