From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chicagoland (the Chicago area) commands the third-largest media market in the United States and the largest inland market.[1] All of the major U.S. television networks have subsidiaries in Chicago. WGN-TV, which is owned by the Tribune Company, is carried (with some programming differences) as "WGN America" on cable and satellite nationwide. Hollinger International is also headquartered in Chicago who, along with the Tribune Company, are some the largest owners of daily newspapers in the world.
