Like MANY over 50 here, I will miss the rich sports legacy of WGN as well.
Great memories as a yoot watching Cubs in about the 7th inning after school.
I seem to recall a lot of the Blackhawks' games on WGN as well - way before the dismal PPV Sports Channel thing.
Maybe they could bring back Andy Griffith to fill in the void?
Wirtz protected his, "season reservation holders", by not putting home games on TV which meant a ton of Pat and Dale on WBBM. Pat was one of the better radio hockey play by play guys when he was in his prime.
