WGN America is an American cable television channel based in Chicago, operating as a superstation feed of WGN-TV. Owned by Tribune Broadcasting, it is one of several flagship properties owned by the Tribune Company, which also owns Chicago area cable news channel Chicagoland Television (CLTV), radio station WGN (720 AM) and the Chicago Tribune.
It is the only remaining superstation in the United States to be distributed nationally through both cable and satellite television, since the October 2007 split of TBS from its former Atlanta local feed. WGN America is also one of four superstations owned by Tribune Company (KTLA/Los Angeles, KWGN/Denver and WPIX/New York City are distributed nationwide on Dish Network, and are regionally available on cable in the Western and Northeastern United States respectively, and throughout Canada on both cable and satellite).

Famous quotes containing the word america:
“If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
—Malcolm X (1925–1965)
