The channel is one of several flagship properties owned by Chicago, Illinois-based corporate parent Tribune Media, which also owns the channel's former parent television station during its existence as a superstation, WGN-TV (channel 9), regional cable news channel Chicagoland Television (CLTV) and radio station WGN (720 AM). As of February 2015, WGN America is available in approximately 72.7 million pay television households (62.4% of households with at least one television set) in the United States. ==Overview== WGN America carries a variety of programs consisting mainly of recent and classic off-network sitcoms, drama series and feature films, along with first-run original television series produced exclusively for the channel. Despite retaining the "WGN" name that it borrowed from its former parent station, since December 15, 2014, it no longer carries any local, syndicated or sports programming that airs in the Chicago market on WGN-TV. Conversely, WGN-TV does not carry WGN America's original series, outside of any special presentations of a program's series premiere (such as with the July 2014 premiere of ''Manhattan'', which aired on WGN-TV and several other Tribune-owned stations on the night of its debut on WGN America). WGN America broadcasts on an Eastern Time schedule (with programs shown at earlier or later times depending on the location). As such, promos for WGN America programs reference airtimes for both the Eastern and Pacific time zones (for example, ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' is promoted as airing at "6 p.m. East/3 p.m. West", a scheduling reference format used in promotions since 2008, instead of referring to both zones as "Eastern" and "Pacific"). However on October 26, 2015, following the announcement of a renewed carriage agreement with AT&T U-verse that is expected to expand its distribution by five million additional subscribers through U-verse and DirecTV, Tribune Broadcasting announced that WGN America will launch a Pacific Time Zone feed on January 1, 2016, which will initially be available on both providers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WGN America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
