Anyone else not get WGN America? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

clj2 · 05-27-2009, 12:23 PM

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!

). Thank goodness for the shows on DVD!!

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

SpenceOlchin · 05-27-2009, 05:37 PM

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.

Atleast Dish Network offers it unlike ComTrash-lol

Comcast in Philadelphia never had it

treky · 05-28-2009, 02:05 AM

we've never had it.

Schmoopie · 05-28-2009, 02:54 AM

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!

Chocoholic · 05-28-2009, 02:52 PM

I don't get it, but I wish I did.

Chocolate Moose · 05-28-2009, 03:44 PM

I have Family cable and don't get it - and wish i did !!!

Robert 13 · 05-28-2009, 03:46 PM

I don't get it either...wish I did though. I missed the episodes of "Too Close For Comfort" they aired.

Scoobiedoo30 · 05-28-2009, 03:50 PM
