WGN made the transition from superstation to a basic cable channel. Their status as a superstation meant that they were still considered a local station and could therefore broadcast their local pro teams. When they transitioned to a basic cable channel, rules and contracts prohibited them from carrying national broadcasts of sports.

I watched the Cubs every summer as a kid since they were always on during the day on WGN, this is the end of an era.
You never knew what Harry Caray was going to say next -- I'll never forget the time he went into a speech about "all these Jap players" in the major leagues
