With both the Cubs and White Sox in 1st place and coming down to the final 2 months of the season I want WGN America HD to hurry up and get on DirecTv. Hurry up DirecTv and get a deal inked for this channel. We Chicago baseball fans need it.

Wait for it..........SOON
The Reason I posted this is because during todays game they just announced there have been some games changed in the broadcast schedule in Later August and in September. Since the Cubs are doing well some games have been moved to WGN from Comcast so more people can see the games. I believe there were about 4 more Cubs games added to the WGN schedule.

Maybe you know something no one else does, but elsewhere, information has been posted that WGN insiders say not before November.

WGN is not the only one in Directv's current (stated) plans.
As of Monday a contact I have says that WGN/Tribune and D* are in discussions (up until recently they weren't talking). So if you want WGN America HD write/e-mail/call DirecTV and tell them to add it ASAP since Dish and AT&T Uverse carry it and you really want it.

Sure, November could be considered soon.. but I don't think thats what these baseball fans have in mind....:lol:
I realize what I received is probably the standard canned reply but here's how they responded to my inquiry concerning WGN America:

Thanks for writing.

We don't carry WGN Superstation in HD right now and we don't currently have
plans to add it to our lineup.

However, I have forwarded your request to DIRECTV management.

In addition, whenever we add channels to our lineup, we release a statement to
the press, so keep an eye on the news to find out about the newest channels or
visit our web site at directv.com/pr.

Thanks again for writing.

Sincerely,

Irene A. - 100091710
DIRECTV Customer Service

I would suggest everyone interested in D* carrying this station to write them.

True first time in a long time the Cubbies are playing great ball, could it be 100 years exactly?
