WGN-TV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia CLTV  -  Comcast SportsNet Chicago  -  FSN Chicago  -  Superstation WGN WGN is notable both as an early example of media conglomeration and as a pioneer in cable television, where it was one of the first superstations. WGN's analog transmitter is atop the John Hancock Center and engineers were almost immediately able to thwart the video hacker by changing the Studio-To-Transmitter frequency, thus cutting the hacker off. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/WGN-TV   (1147 words)

Current Events - WGN-TV / Under the Covers vs. Undercover--Where is today's press? So Channel 33, the affiliate of WGN TV, the Tribune and the WB, sent reporter Dawn Tongish to follow up on Life Dynamics activities to see if Texas clinics were meeting the requirements of the law. So it is hard to understand why WGN, already in lockstep with the government on so many issues, has chosen to ignore such news in the wake of overwhelming evidence of the abuse of children. WGN was once the source of family friendly entertainment. www.rfmnews.com /nm/publish/news_67.html   (1653 words)

JS Online: Send out the clown Sunday's final episode of Bozo the clown on Chicago's WGN marks more than the end of a long-running children's TV show. In spring, when WGN announced the Bozo cancellation, Joey D'Auria, Chicago's Bozo since 1984, admitted that his show was "a bit of a dinosaur." D'Auria declined a request to be interviewed for this story. And in March, WGN pulled the plug on the last Bozo, which had moved from a live lunchtime show to a taped weekday morning program and finally turned into to "Bozo's Super Sunday Show" in the little-watched slot of 7 a.m. www.jsonline.com /enter/tvradio/aug01/bozo21082001.asp   (1321 words)

A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond The combiner sits in a cage in the middle of the room; the window space is leased to TV broadcasters for fixed microwave links to various Chicago points of interest (we saw several dishes aimed at the United Center for WGN-TV Bulls broadcasts, for instance.) In 2002, the east tower was partially dismantled and replaced by a taller structure (at left above), rising to within inches of 1500' above street level, 372' above the roof, to accommodate a new antenna for WBBM-TV and WBBM-DT (Channel 3) and a new FM master antenna. WFLD and WGN both remain key tenants on the west tower - WFLD on top, WGN just below - but unlike WBBM, they're depending on the Sears Tower for their digital signals. www.fybush.com /site-031218.html   (1127 words)

Baseball Toaster : Cub Town Not that it had exceptional velocity (he was working consistently around 88-89 according to the WGN gun, with occasional offerings in the low nineties), but it just seemed like there was a little more zip. Maybe it was the decidedly minor league character of the Giant's lineup, or perhaps it was the funky camera angle, but Rich Hill's fastball had more life in it than I remembered. Of course, he still had issues controlling it, particularly when he dialed it up a notch, so that's still something he needs to fix in order to make that curveball a really effective out pitch against Major League hitters. cubtown.baseballtoaster.com   (3682 words)
