WGN Television, like its sister radio station WGN-AM (720 kHz), is owned by the Tribune Company, which owns the Chicago Tribune newspaper whose slogan "World's Greatest Newspaper" was the basis for the call letters used by both stations. WGN is notable both as an early example of media conglomeration and as a pioneer in cable television, where it was one of the first superstations.
