WGN expanding 2 newscasts in October

...and, I suspect that the ever-expanded Midday News won't make it to the America feed, nor the full Evening News. Any word if Who Wants to be a Millionaire is off of the WGN schedule altogether, or is it moving to a new timeslot?

It will probably be on at 11 am, replacing the Millionaire Secondary, since the Primary version is on at 5.....I just saw WGN's local lineup. They have Rachael Ray on now, and dropped the Steve Wilkos Show. Who used to have Rachael Ray on in Chicago and who picked up Steve Wilkos? I am assuming WFLD (FOX Chicago) got Wilkos.

I found out that WCIU (Channel 26, The U) picked up Wilkos, via their website.

If there aren't any SyndEx segments it should have no problems.

Still hasn't made it to the superstation. Knowing Trib management, they probably consider it too Chicago-centric for the national viewers.

Yes, but you shouldn't have to watch WGN programming online when you get WGN on your TV, no matter where you are. If it weren't for the Cubs, that station would be completely meaningless nationally, and the direction the Tribune has taken it the past 5-10 years is completely to blame.
 
They really also don't care about Morning Newsacst on WGNAMERICA or even showing Daily Buzz show. Theirs people who like WGN News over their local News.
