On August 16 we started WGN Morning News starting at 4:30 in the morning. The most common question I have been asked is "WHY? Who is up at 4:30?". I can't say that I am 100% clear on what the answer is to that question. Nor can I say that I have ever understood management here at WGN-TV. However, what I do know is that I am very fortunate to have a job (and a good one too). So, in my effort to suck up to management and show them that I am 100% behind them...
I have spent the past two weeks trying to come up with 10 great reasons. I haven't been able to flesh it out fully...but it's early. By 2015 I should be able to complete the list.

Top 10 Reason WGN Morning News Starts at 4:30am

1. There's money to be made by someone somewhere

2. ( I am stuck for a strong number 2. I will come back and update this one.)

3. (Still working on this one too. Be patient.)

4. We are saving money somehow?

5. (ummmmmmmmm....still thinking about a strong #5...It couldn't be they want more of Robin....these are hard enough times as it is.)

6. Insomniacs are people too.

7. (hold on....still trying...maybe something here about Larry's hairpiece glue...)

8. People who are just up for a quick wiz or nursing moms might need some local news at 4:30.

9. It's 5:30 in parts on Indiana and Michigan.

10. (Still working on a strong finish. Will get that to you as soon as i can come up with something.)

That's How I See It...
