Why is WLS-TV NOT using Eyewitness News?

Well WLS-TV decided to Follow KGO-TV brand and call it ABC7 News. Look at Joe Ahern he was the GM of both KGO-TV and WLS-TV back in the 1990's. That was his decision to boost ratings for the ABC O&O's in San Francisco and Chicago. I know back in the 1990's KGO-TV had lower ratings than KRON4 San Francisco simply because the Late Pete Wilson was switched from KGO-TV to KRON for a better offer back then. ALso KGO-TV was one of the O&O's mentioned that did not use the name Eyewitness News because KPIX a former Group W station/ CBS Affiliate(Now CBS O&O) was using the name EWN.
