#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? Another important story by @[email protected] bsky.app/profile/thed...

This has absolutely nothing to do with "budgetary constraints." It is a shame to see WGN reduced to nothing.

On 22 November 1987 the most high profile TV hijacking in US history occurred. Unknown persons interrupted an episode of Doctor Who on Chicago PBS station WTTW and broadcast this odd parody of Max Headroom.
They also highjacked WGN in Chicago for a shorter period that evening.
The perpetrators were never found.
