Mike, you need to start reading the whole text rather than just a portion of something. This is how bad rumors start. WWE Smackdown doesn't even air on WGN except in Chicago! And the poster who posted about Smackdown was talking about this Friday that the local WGN in Chicago was airing ALF instead of Smackdown. Local WGN in Chicago did not get the 80s week marathon except for Friday.

well I went to www.wgntv.com and they have ALF scheduled from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm Central Time on Friday, July 11, 2008.

Pavan · 07-09-2008, 10:10 PM

Didn't I just say that Aaron?

Scoobiedoo30 · 07-09-2008, 10:26 PM

It did not sound like to me but I was wondering what do you mean by Text

Jude The Obscure · 07-09-2008, 10:41 PM

text means the whole paragraph of what was written, Aaron. Pav was stating that Mike did not read the whole paragraph and jumped to the conclusion that reruns of ALF were replacing WWE Smackdown. Hope that explains it

The WGN affiliate out of Chicago, the third largest market in the country, is thinking about pulling Smackdown from their line-up and replacing it with "Alf" reruns. This is apparently not confirmed, but it would be a huge loss for the WWE if another station in the market doesn't pick up the show.

I read that text pretty quick and considering the font size is kinda small, I missed where it said CHICAGO.

It happens Mike, that is why you have all of us here to help you out.

Here's what Dave Meltzer said in the Wrestling Observer newsletter...

For those that don't know, Wrestling Observer is basically THE trade newsletter for the pro wrestling business.

I am just glad that People in Chicago are going to get to watch ALF

TKMetal · 07-10-2008, 02:49 PM

Smackdown looks to be gone from WGN9, but ALF will only run this Friday.
There will be a ball game on 7/18, "The Terminator" on 7/25 and "The Golden Eye" on 8/1 with more movies running every following Friday.
