Random WGN thread

So, the first TV listings of the new fall season are out, and there are a few notable changes on the WGN schedule. Despite the show wrapping production, I'm shocked that a rerun slate of Maury isn't included in the afternoon block. Instead, Lauren Lake's Paternity Court (yikes) slots in at 2pm. The biggest surprise, though, might come at 3pm, as Friends reruns return to weekday, daylight hours for the first time in forever. Personally, that programming decision feels like a placeholder move, but what do I know?

The Maury repeats are headed to WCIU at 11am, before his successor show Karamo comes on. 

 

All the NBC trash talkers will be on one place.

There hasn’t been a court show on WGN since Judge Jeanine Pirro which was taped at NBC tower years ago!

Looked at WGN’s Thanksgiving schedule, and it appears they’re not running Bozo, Gar & Ray this year, instead replacing it with the two Bozo’s Circus 1960s and 1970s specials.

 

Meanwhile, the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade finally has a new, proper home after last year’s VPOD embarrassment: WCIU.

Don't quote me on it, but I believe I saw that Bozo, Gar & Ray is airing on Sunday.

Before John Drury helped usher in the modern news department, the face of WGN News was Jack Taylor. We perhaps know him best from old broadcasts of the classic Night Beat. He passed away this weekend at 94, only retiring from any and all media work in the last few years.

 

Obituary, from earlier tonight:

 

Night Beat, 9/10/79:
