The Chicago Tribune called itself The World's Greatest Newspaper. It is from that slogan that the call letters were derived, when the radio station was started in the 1920s. In the newspaper's radio program listings, for many years, it was spelled W-G-N to make it visually stand out from the other Chicago stations listed.
