What is WGN? I know its a channel, but I dont have it, and I never see it on the TV Lineup. Is it a network station?

The far-more common WGN is "Superstation WGN", which is essentially TBS with somewhat older shows, more movies, and Cubs/White Sox/Bulls games.

WGN (WGN9) is also the Chicago-area WB affiliate (only available in the Chicago TV market area). It's mainly just your standard WB affil.

Are you sure you don't? I get it here, I had it when I lived in California, it's a pretty nationwide channel.

It might depend on your cable co. maybe they don't want to carry that channel for some reason

Probably, my cable company cuts out tons of channels. It stinks

I get the Superstation version. I watch the Noon and 9pm(1pm and 10pm ET) newscasts sometimes. It used to air Full House several years ago and aired Family Matters up til last year(along with TBS) until it went to ABC Family.

Where I used to live didn't carry the channel either, but it's avaliable in 95% of the country.

That stinks. I love my cable co. they are starting to get the channels the people want, I finally got Soapnet, now I can die Happy

I would send them an email asking them about it, it can't hurt.

Rurry-

I hear that my cable company, Cox Cable doesn't carry WGN either. we only get it if we order digital cable. I used to get it when i had Satelitte and it is great, i used to watch Will and Grace and Clueless and other sitcoms on it.

WGN doesn't seem like a digital cable type of channel to me. I've always only had it on basic cable.

My brother has WGN on his DirecTV.

It's on basic cable here too. Channel 11, right in between PBS and NBC.

Yeah it's on our basic cable, channel 16 scrunched between WUAB an independent Channel out of Cleveland OH and TBS, it was funny there for awhile cause of WGN calling themselves "superstation" and TBS was "superstation"

Yeah... I still refer to TBS as TBS Superstation even though they dropped the label. Always have referred to WGN as simply, WGN.
