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:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Apparel vice like virtue’s harbinger;
Bear a fair presence, though your heart be tainted;
Teach sin the carriage of a holy saint;
Be secret-false.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
