National Carriage
The newscast does not currently air on WGN-TV's national superstation feed WGN America and has not aired on the national feed regularly since 1996, reportedly because certain segments of the newscast were not allowed to air outside of Chicago due to syndication exclusivity rules (the weekend morning editions of the newscast, as well as the 11 a.m.-noon hour of the midday newscast and the weeknight 5 p.m. newscast, also do not air on the superstation feed, though for unknown reasons). The only instance where the WGN Morning News was carried nationally on WGN's superstation feed since that point was on September 12, 2001 as part of special coverage of the September 11th terror attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. All of WGN's news programming (including the SyndEx-restricted segments, but excluding the video portions of highlight footage during sports segments) is streamed over the station's website and through WGN's smartphone applications.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or carriage:
“I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“That the townspeople might better see him, the President was persuaded to leave his carriage by the inducement that the ladies wished to get a look at him. ‘By Gad,’ he repied, ‘I’d like to see your ladies,’ and alighted.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
