[edit] Superstation WGN

WGN is also a U.S. network available on satellite and cable TV services known as Superstation WGN.

WGN kept an FM station until 1954. That year, radio station WFMT moved to the frequency held by WGN-FM, 98.7 MHz. WFMT has been at that frequency ever since. WGN managed WFMT from 1968 to 1970.

WGN Radio was created on June 1, 1924, when the Chicago Tribune bought WDAP with studios in the Drake Hotel and renamed it WGN. The Tribune called itself the World's Greatest Newspaper, and it was from that slogan that the call letters were derived. In the newspaper's radio program listings, for many years, it was spelled W-G-N to make it visually stand out from the other Chicago stations listed.
