Wow, you are correct. I missed that. I guess I didn't think to scan backwards 
through the four hours of infomercials to get to it.

 It's the 4 a.m. hour.  The main hours have never been on the superstation 
allegedly because of syndicated segments (which I assume means Sam Rubin's 
Hollywood gossip segments).

  I didn't realize WGNA had brought back the noon news but, according to my 
DirecTV
channel guide they still aren't airing the morning news. It's back to back 
airings of Walker


Texas Ranger from 8:00AM to 10:00AM (central).

I didn't see it on the web site's schedule at all, so I'm assuming that it may 
not have a future on WGNA.  For the record, they are still airing the second 
hour of the midday news (Skilling) and the first hour of "WGN Morning News" 
(which is a more hard news prelim before the morning zoo crew comes in--and no 
Skilling), but the complaints have been over the 9 p.m. news not airing any 
more, replaced by what seems to be airings of "Salem" every night (which, I may 
point out, is only available in Chicago for DirecTV and Dish subscribers who 
get WGNA and on VOD on Comcast and perhaps other systems).

Does the move away from local programming in WGN America include Chicago's 
Best? As a lover of Chicago and a former resident, I do enjoy watching the show 
(despite my general dislike for Britney  Payton's daughter and the new host and 
the obnoxious product endorsement).

Which pretty much sets up WGN-TV losing the Cubs, as well.  However, I have the 
feeling that the Ricketts will be holding up Comcast (the dominant cable player 
in Chicago) for their own channel, like YES for the Yankees and TWC SportsNet 
in LA for the Dodgers (although I can see Fox going after the Cubs to place on 
their MyNet station WPWR).


And Chicago sports, like WGN's local newscasts, seem to be coming to an end on 
WGN America, as the Trib seems to want it to become a big cable playa for 
original programming--and I'm sure they're convinced that the playa hatas who 
want the Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Tom Skilling over sitcom reruns and "Salem" are 
all 55+.

After 90 years on WGN, the Cubs took a dump truck of money to head to WBBM (who 
already has the Bears) for seven years. WSCR (a fellow CBS station) has the Sox 
for one more year (and may take the Cubs if the Sox leave). WGN still has the 
Blackhawks and WMVP has the Bulls.
