I am assuming that in Chicago WGN will reconnect with the CW next fall--they dropped it back when they still had the Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Black Hawks and now they don't have any of those teams--they're all on cable on NBC Sports Chicago, with the exception of the Cubs co-owning with Sinclair Marquee Network. Presently, the CDub affil is Weigel's WCIU, with the old "The U" brand on their .2 subchannel and low-powered WMEU. Since I suspected back then that the only reason WCIU took the CDub was because they had taken over the rights to the reruns of Jerry Springer as their one hour of daytime programming, they may not be that interested in the net now.
