==Overview==
WGN is a high-powered clear channel AM station operating with a power of 50,000 watts, during daytime hours, it can be heard as far as Windsor, Ontario, around 250 miles away, and during the nighttime hours, is often audible over much of the United States, parts of Canada, and sometimes as far away as Australia, Europe and South America. The station also streams its programming on its website, with the exception of commercial breaks and Cubs games; public service announcements, station promotions, host-read commercials and alternate programming are played instead in those cases.
In addition to WGN AM 720's online stream, Tribune also operates two additional internet-only streams, WGN Plus (formerly WGN-2, not to be confused with WGN.FM, whose URL is wgnplus.com), which airs additional content from the primary station, and WGN.FM - Freeform Media (occasionally branded as "The G"), a talk-oriented internet radio station.
The WGN call letters originally referred to the ''Tribune'' (meaning "World's Greatest Newspaper"), following the pattern of other stations such as WLS ("World's Largest Store for Sears) and WSM in Nashville (for "We Shield Millions" – the slogan of the insurance company that owned the station).
