WGN America (formerly known as "Superstation WGN" and "WGN Superstation") is a Chicago-based American feed of WGN-TV, owned by Tribune Broadcasting. WGN America offers its national programming across North America without the CW network programming and most syndicated programs that are carried on the Chicago area feed. WGN America is still not available on most cable systems in the New England region of the United States, including certain parts of the New York metropolitan area.

WGN America is available in the United States on most cable providers, via satellite to DirecTV and Dish Network subscribers, and to subscribers of AT&T U-verse (outside of the Chicago area) and Verizon FiOS; it is also carried on some smaller Canadian cable companies, although most Canadian viewers which previously received the superstation feed now receive the WGN-TV Chicago feed. In the Chicago market, WGN America is not available on over-the-air digital television or cable, but is available on DirecTV and Dish Network. Most American cable and IPTV providers carry WGN America on a "limited basic" programming tier (which also includes local broadcast stations and public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable channels).
