These 2009 analog-to-digital switchover videos are actual pieces of history. People decades- even centuries- from now will probably be watching these videos in their history class or for their research. Even now, almost 15 years on as of this comment, it’s been a while since this happened. It seems like so long ago to us, and yet, those watching this video and reading these comments decades in the future will even more far removed. The internet is an incredible preservation tool.
None, it is an independent network based in chicago. I always thought wgn owned it because when the cubs played on it it says wgn sports on the u (slang for wciu), but apparently its independent. Wciu owns the chicago me-tv affiliate (26.3 and 26.4)
