For the record the State Finals in Illinois have not been on WGN in over 10 years. Not sure exactly when, but the Finals have been shown an a series of configurations where it was not allowed to be shown on all the channels as it was the case when I was a kid or in high school over 20 years ago. The point again is this took place even longer than when I was in HS and has nothing to do with what has happened today.
