Quote:
CLTV, the 24-hour local cable news channel launched as Chicagoland Television on New Year’s Day 1993, is shutting down at the end of the month, Nexstar Media Group announced Monday.

The cancellation comes three months after Dallas-based Nexstar Media acquired Tribune Media, parent company of “Chicago’s Very Own” WGN, CLTV and WGN 720-AM.

WGN essentially became what CLTV was supposed to be.

I thought that if Sinclair had been successful in buying WGN that CLTV would have become Marquee to keep it on the basic tier.

Remember Duff on MTV? I was so fucking high one night I swore she had a cast on her leg. The next day, everyone was like, "No, you stupid." Like one week later, she had a cast on her arm!

It was amazing. You get these visions, and they're not always exact. You might have a vision about a crab, but it turns out in reality to be a lobster, or something red or perhaps not in greyscale. You can't measure that stuff in physics, but there are more things in marijuana-enabled visions than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

sorry, this is a joke only i find funny.... to me it seems like WGN/CLTV has a staff of 303 reporters and i always wondered how they were able to employ so many reporters.. i realize they probably only have like 20-25 which still seems like a lot.

CLTV was a great farm system. I believe Peggy Koochinski started there.

and me.

CLTV was a model for how news should be done.

No nonsense and professional.

I just found out about this today and I'm sick to my stomach over this.

How the hell is Tribune being bought? I thought they were a giant.

No. WGN is becoming worse. I like WGN still, but CLTV felt more quiet. More Canadian if u will. No big personalities, no goofy morning shows. Just nice and quiet. You get all your news in a half hour, without having to slug through an hour of news with various reporters and segments and bullshit. And you get quick no nonsense weather reports.

I like Skilling and shit, always have, but sometimes you just want em to get to the point. CLTV was a perfect contrast to WGN. I want and like both. One without the other is gonna suck.

You should watch Sky News. One presenter, minimal breaking news, and a civilized "press preview" show each night. I watch it to get the major US political news without all the bullshit.

They're essentially moving the CLTV "Sports Feed" to WGN.
