I already wrote over 7,000 words on WGN-TV’s final year after 72 seasons broadcasting Cubs baseball — and you can read every one of those words here — so I’m not sure what else I could add to those five articles written here in September, other than the fact that I will miss WGN-TV as a Cubs partner.
But the reason there were that many words to write about WGN-TV is that for exactly half of the Cubs’ existence as a franchise, WGN and the Cubs were basically synonymous, especially for 20 or so years when the games were broadcast on national cable.
