I thought today was supposed to be the day Starchoice switched to the local version of WGN. Anyone have any information on why the superstation feed is still on?

WGN Local

I have SO missed WGN Morning News. I always loved their anchor Robin Baumgarten ... (I watched her when she was just the traffic reporter).

I don't have the movies or superchannel pack, but I'll change it back just to see the WGN Morning News.

Please let us know if they make the switch! :

Today the onscreen SC guide shows the listings for the local WGN but they are still showing the superstation feed. They seem to be having an amazingly difficult time executing this switch.

The delay was caused by a backhaul issue. It was resolved on January 16th and they switched over to the local feed at around 2:00 pm ET on January 17th.
