TV you can't ignore

The only TV I usually can't ignore is the kind that features scantily-clad ladies, or competitive eating contests (a combination of the 2 is even more irresistible), but even these I sometimes get sick of. So I was intrigued when I learned this was the new slogan of the recently re-branded WGN Superstation. It is now . . .

WGN America: TV You Can't Ignore.

The WGN cable channel that reaches millions, and has exposed a new generation of viewers to shows like"Homicide: Life on the Street" and "Barney Miller," is undergoing quite the facelift. It's part of the new ownership's plan to re-invent Tribune, and a move I believe was long overdue.

So I'm on board with whatever they need, and recently, that involved me going out and spreading the word about this new and exciting venture.
