I remember 10 or maybe 15 years ago, I used to feel there was a novelty receiving WGN America when I switched providers and finally got WGN America.

Now, I look at the schedule and not so impressed. They are not in the league like TBS, but not exactly a retro TV or "superstation" but they have M'A'S"H and a few other oldies. I also noticed it's so obviously missing from Sling and all the new internet cable providers. And, it's probably a channel nobody really is missing. Any thoughts?

Ya I remember when i first got WGN America they had Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie at 7am. I mean that was some good mornings, unfortunately it didn't last long.

We used to have WGN, but it was dropped along with three other channels back in November.

I hope with the change of ownership, things improve with WGN. Probably Tribune has let it slide into the dregs, since they were selling off all their stations.
