So it looks like WGN America got renamed to NewsNation.

This was a few months ago I think.

Hard to believe that in a site of WGN experts and WGN insiders, NOBODY reported on this.

Truly sad. The ashes of what was a GREAT superstation showing Cubs games and even WGN news is now pure unrelated garbage.

Apparently this NewsNation is doing terribly. Fuck NextStar or whatever theyre called.

We've been discussing it quite a bit.

I caught a moment of that Leland Vittert show. It was like "Our top story: are masks taking away Our Freedoms?" and I moved on. The most unbiased news in America.

Was gonna say, this happened awhile ago. They replaced my nightly run of Married with Children for this. Just what was needed. One more news outlet.

I've said it before. WGN messed up. They could have been like TBS/TNT with national sports contracts. They never got into that game. Now all they do is local news and sitcom reruns.

If this loses hundreds of millions, good for us all.
