At this point in early 1990, WGN as listed here was actually the
national superstation version rather the local Chicago version. This
is evidenced by some of the shows listed, older stuff such as Dick
Van Dyke And Abbott And Costello instead stuff newer to syndication
such as The Golden Girls and Hunter
 
Interesting. Steve Doocy was a few years away from Fox and Friends.
