The WGN Morning News always seems to push the envelope -- too bad they don't show it nationally. :)

They have way too much fun on that show - I wish they would show it nationally!

That's great! Totally needs to be aired nationally...

It's kind of ironic or favortism, I don't know what you call it. Both the 12pm and 9pm editions of WGN 9 News aired on WGN America nationally, but they never air WGN 9 Morning News on that network. All because of what they call "Syndex" rules. Yeah, right. If it no such thing as Syndex, WGN Morning News would have aired on WGN America by now.

What I mean is this: WGN Morning News is aired on the local feed of WGN-TV and not the national feed on WGN America. As I mentioned in my last post, WGN America airs only the 12pm (1pmET) and 9pm (10pmET) editions of WGN 9 News. Which is why Tribune needs to air the morning news on WGN America rather on WGN.

So your saying they should move WGN 9 Morning News to WGN America and pull it off of WGN 9?

Doesn't WGN have some kind of syndicated segment on their morning news that's protected under Syndex that prevents it from being shown nationally?

let me guess... the so called syndicated segment that has silenced the WGN MORNING NEWS across the country on WGN AMERICA....only one man might be the cause...(dramatic pause for effect..)

 

MR. FOOD!

Mr. Food is aired on WLS. WGN never had his segments. I assume it's their traffic segments during their morning newscast. But I think there something else, too.

What first caused it I belive was the Fresh Grocer segment (or something like that) that use to be on there. That segment is no longer on there but i think something else took its spot.
