WGN America is an American cable television channel based in Chicago, operating as a superstation feed of WGN-TV. Owned by Tribune Broadcasting, it is one of several flagship properties owned by the Tribune Company, which also owns Chicago area cable news channel Chicagoland Television (CLTV), radio station WGN (720 AM) and the Chicago Tribune.
It is the only remaining superstation in the United States to be distributed nationally through both cable and satellite television, since the October 2007 split of TBS from its former Atlanta local feed. WGN America is also one of four superstations owned by Tribune Company (KTLA/Los Angeles, KWGN/Denver and WPIX/New York City are distributed nationwide on Dish Network, and are regionally available on cable in the Western and Northeastern United States respectively, and throughout Canada on both cable and satellite).

Famous quotes containing the word america:
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
