  1. Not gonna lie. Watching the Cubbies play afternoon games in Wrigley reminds me of getting home after school (Grade school - HS), and tuning into WGN on our black-n-white TV to watch the last 1/2 of the games. Which also returns many other memories surrounding that time of my life.

  2. #NexstarTEGNA mega-merger is bad for consumers, local journalists - and democracy. #WGN Should one of the companies that aligned with MAGA-FCC Chairman Carr and Donald Trump to take #JimmyKimmel off the air get much bigger?

  8. WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman was violently detained by Border Patrol agents during an ICE operation in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, sparking outrage as bystanders filmed the encounter and voiced anger at the agents. Brockman, on assignment, was forced to the ground, cuffed, and driven away in an unmarked van after being accused of assaulting a federal officer. Videos show agents ramming another vehicle as residents shouted epithets. Brockman was later released, with Homeland Security citing safety concerns and alleging she threw objects at their car. WGN is investigating the incident, which has drawn heated debate over federal enforcement tactics and press freedom. independent.co.uk/news/world/a #Chicago #ICE #BorderPatrol #PressFreedom #WGN #CivilRights

    This reminds me of the #song ...

    When I was growing up in the 1970s, in a little town outside of #Chicago , the #RayRaynor Show (on #WGN channel 9) would have a #BrookfieldZoo segment about various zoo animals. And they always played "The #Unicorn" song (by the #IrishRovers ) to introduce the segment.

    Listening to NHL hockey on #WGN 720 kHz via a #KiwiSDR run by #K9MQ at grid EN61gk. The receiver is about 60 miles from the 50,000 watt AM transmitter.

    kiwisdr.k9mq.com/

    Signal is (unsurprisingly) S9+25 into the Kiwi.

    The K9MQ receiver is my favorite for #Chicago
    area AM stations, with consistently good coverage and clear signals.
