A little history:

WGN subscription sales began  in the mid 1980’s with the scrambling of their signal using the VideoCipher 2 analog system. Superstar Connection began selling them to the backyard dish owners at that time. WGN was originally uplinked by United Video from their Teleport in Monee Illinois. The backyard dish signal shutdown came with the sunset of the consumer VC-2+ shutdown in 2007.  This has left WGN vacant from the c band dish owners dish for a decade. Their current PowerVu encrypted signal is uplinked from their TV Studios on the north side of Chicago Illinois. Rainier big dish subscribers receive WGN via our Cisco D9865 Receiver in Pure HD.
