WGN-HD on StarChoice

[hiker]

I see where WGN-HD is available on the English Essentials pkg. Is this the regular WGN shown in the Chicago area that shows WhiteSox and Cubs games or the superstation without the games?

WGN 9

Canada has the actual CW station from Chicago and not the Superstation version (by the way both versions show the Cubs/Sox)

Also most Canadian providers have WPCH (WTBS 17) instead of TBS Superstation

It is not part of the Essentials package. A subscription to WGN SD is required.

Ah, thanks, I missed that. The only add-on SD pkgs I see which have WGN are PROGRAMMING EXTRAS (Movies East or Movies West) at $19.99.

There are other ways to get it that are not posted on the website:

a) Family Channel +WGN/KTLA/WSBK/WPIX - $4.99/month
b) If you already sub to Family channel - WGN/KTLA/WSBK/WPIX - $3.95/month
c) Most new CSRs don't know this one - if you already sub to Family channel - you can get any Superstation for 99 cents/month.

Thanks again.
Do you know how much they charge to mirror each additional receiver?

StarChoice charges a $4.99 multiple receiver fee that can include up to 5 additional receivers. The fee is waived if you have Ultimate Choice or higher.
