In 1983, WGN-9's superstation feed was in fact the local station's broadcasts. Everything WGN aired locally could be seen on every cable system where WGN's superstation feed was offered.

It was not until the imposition of "syndicated exclusivity" rules that prompted the company that distributes WGN's satellite feed (I believe it's United Video) to launch a "WGN America" feed with different programming substituted for syndicated shows that cannot air nationally due to "syndex", or to replace Blackhawks (hockey) and Bulls (basketball) games that can't be shown on the superstation feed because of league rules that limit (NBA) or bar (NHL) superstation broadcasts of local games.

The Alabama-Auburn game in '83 was one of the truly memorable games in the series. Auburn won 23-20, when Bo Jackson scored the go-ahead touchdown in the 3rd quarter. If memory serves me right, he ran for about 250 yards in the game. Most of the second half of the game was played in a veritable monsoon, and in fact there were tornado warnings for the area around Birmingham's Legion Field. Remarkably, the officials did not make any decision to delay the game. What stands out in my memory is that Mary Brown, the weekend weather announcer for Birmingham's ABC affiliate, WBRC-6, broke into the game coverage that announce to viewers that the Birmingham area was indeed under a tornado warning. Many incensed viewers called the station to complain that they had interrupted the coverage of the Iron Bowl.
