I hate the title of this thread.

Yeah, I'm sure the one food that people think its ok to rub, touch, and frequently consume while still in the grocery store is holding the key to the cure.

If green tea and chocolate is the cure then im gucci....But it's not and is absurd to suggest...WGN...I always wondered why it was a cable network.

I do believe in the power of fruit and antioxidants and flavonoids and blueberries though

WGN became a cable network.  It's always been a local Chicago station (WGN = Worlds Greatest Newspaper aka Chicago Tribune).

It was one of the 20-something basic channels when my family first got cable. I don't think they split into a local and cable until they acquired WB programming.

I mostly remember WGN for having hours of Bozo. I still remember an episode where he was calling for the kids to toss a ball in the buckets and wound up picking the name of a teenager who seemed to be there with a group for giggles. I think they may have been the last channel to carry Bozo. We had our own Bozo on our local affiliate, but I think he ended around 82-83.

In it's heyday, young women who weren't even engaged were requesting tickets, because the wait list was 7 years long.  I was just a little kid watching it, when they broke in to announce JFK had been assassinated.  I ran into another room to tell my folks & they were sure I had misheard the news.

I think they were trying to replicate what Turner did with TBS. It may have been that they just didn't have the same quality of programming outside of their kids lineup. I remember TBS having all the Clint Eastwood Movies (along with Grandpa Munster Saturday mornings)  and USA having all the horror movies and comedies (with Commander USA on Saturdays). I to this day can't remember ever watching a movie on WGN outside of G.I. Joe the movies. It may just be that they didn't jump on the ball when it came to hosted programming. I spent many a weekend as a kid watching USA Up All Night and Night Tracks on TBS. TBS and USA were like WGN in that they didn't have a lot of their own original programming, but they were able to package the B-movies and old flicks in a way that felt like you were kind of at a party whereas WGN had the kids stuff and the News at 9.

Of course, USA and TBS had wrestling. Looking back, WGN probably should have tried their hand at it too. They still had a chance with AWA, World Class and Mid-South still being around.

Besides the "kids stuff" they had Family Classics (Lassie Come Home, Treasure Island, Captain Blood, Heidi, etc.), pretty much old 50s/60s shows like The Cisco Kid, The Lone Ranger, Sherlock Holmes movies, Charlie Chan movies, the Cubs.  The Superstation was more than likely made for Chicagoans who had left the state.  WGN did have wrestling (Dick the Bruiser, The Crusher, Baron von Raschke...), the White Sox, the Bears, the Bulls, the Black Hawks, Roller Derby, Demolition Derbys...but they'd dumped that stuff long before the Superstation existed (obviously they didn't have the clout to pull in full schedules of the Chicago teams after the mid-60s).

Yeah, I just remembered the Cubs games were their big thing. I still remember the doomsday commercial by Budweiser (I think) mentioning that "They put lights in Wrigley Field" in a menacing tone.
