WGN America original dramas

[InMontreal]

WGN America ordered new drama series for 2014.

- Salem : http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2...20130604wgn01/
- Manhattan : http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2...20130904wgn01/

There's no word yet on when these series will premiere exactly, nor if those series will air on WGN-TV Chicago as well.

It's interesting to know that the canadian supplier, Shaw Broadcast Services, switched from WGN Sperstation to WGN-TV Chicago on January 17, 2007, apparently to avoid paying subscription revenues for the cable channel. The only known providers of WGN America are MTS and Cogeco.

Manhattan series premiere will air tonight at 11pm ET on WGN-TV, WPIX and KTLA (the "Tribune" Superstations), and if you miss it, it'll be at 2am ET (or 11pm PT) on KCPQ (Fox Seattle), also owned by Tribune. No further episode will air on those Tribune stations.

Unlike Salem, which aired on Space, Manhattan hasn't been brought by any canadian broadcaster.

Nothing to do with WGN, but The Divide, from WEtv, sister cable channel of AMC, and also not available in Canada will have it's first 3 episodes shown tonight at midnight on AMC.
No further episodes showing planned on AMC for now.
