The WGN Morning News is an American morning television news program airing on CW affiliate and national superstation WGN-TV in Chicago, Illinois. The newscast airs Monday through Friday mornings from 4:00-10:00 a.m. Central Time. The program is formatted as a newscast with a somewhat less serious tone than WGN-TV's other local news programs and is known for its fun and rambunctious nature, with the anchors and reporters often shown more relaxed on-air, often pulling on-air pranks and practical jokes. The 4:00-6:00 a.m. portion of the newscast is more staid in tone to some extent and is a more generalized news/weather/sports/traffic format, while the 6:00-10:00 a.m. portion incorporates feature segments, interviews and includes some humorous elements.
