alex979 119 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 So, I thought this was interesting. As I was surfing around on youtube earlier, I came across a mock close for WGN which used music that I've never heard before. It still has the signature of "Chicago's very own," but it's way different than any of the cuts they currently use. I'm guessing it's part of the package which never was fully rolled out, and is only heard in the talent opens and bumpers. I wonder why it just surfaced recently...

alex979 119 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I really like how they inserted their election hashtag on the bottom of the bug, and shrunk the logo and time and temp. Much better than having it on top and making the bug even more huge.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Tonight, Dan Roan did sports, and they played the talent opener featuring him despite it being Friday. Do they always do this when he appears on Friday, or has he been permanently moved to Monday-Friday?

24994J 5577 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't know, but Rich King has been doing Instant Replay most weeks over the last several months. Heck, even when Dan was just at Spring Training, he didn't host, even after doing so in previous years.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hmmm, guess we should keep an eye out on Sunday and see if they play Rich King's talent open.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Wow, WGN is airing spring training games in HD this year? Is this is the first year they've ever done that? I wonder if it was mandated by their new contract. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14011-random-wgn-thread/page/6/#findComment-126046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Wow, WGN is airing spring training games in HD this year? Is this is the first year they've ever done that? I wonder if it was mandated by their new contract. I would imagine it's probably getting tough to produce things in SD these days, most production trucks are HD now. I very much doubt it was mandated by any sort of contract.

A3N 1002 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think they started doing ST games in HD last year. The year before that the PQ was terrible and you could definitely tell that it was not in HD.

ChiCubsFan 34 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have a feeling WGN is going to start weather coverage non-stop (meaning through the 9pm news) very soon. 5 mins later: called it Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14011-random-wgn-thread/page/6/#findComment-126601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5577 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah, they went back to network programming, and quickly reversed that decision. Good call. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14011-random-wgn-thread/page/6/#findComment-126602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can start with not making him do the 4am tomorrow. Paul can handle it for a day; it's only fair. Demetrius is doing great tonight; I think he's starting to emerge as the heir apparent to Tom, even though he'll probably have to wait a while.
