abric 157 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Since Cubs Baseball is at 8:40c (9:40e), WGN is doing a special primetime 8pm broadcast tonight. Has WGN ever done a 8pm news in recent memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
312newswannabe 7 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't know about recent memory, but before they were affiliated with the WB in the mid 90s, it was common for them to have the news on before the Cubs game if they were playing on the west coast...sure beats having the news on @ midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 612 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've seen it happen on Saturdays all the time in recent years, but never on a weekday. I think they're doing it because of the weird 8:30 CT start of this game. They couldn't finish the CW's hour-long 90210 during this hour, obviously, so they just decided to do the news instead and get it over with as opposed to airing some other filler program.
