: : : WGN-TV to expand Election Night coverage : : : WGN-Ch. 9 has reversed an earlier decision and will pre-empt its CW prime-time schedule in favor of beginning its Election Night coverage at 7 p.m., two hours earlier than first planned. Mark Suppelsa will co-anchor with Micah Materre, who's filling in for Allison Payne. : : : Cable's WGN America will simulcast WGN's coverage on Election Night, also beginning at 7 p.m. : : : In Chicago, Channel 9 also plans to begin its morning newscast on Wednesday at 4:30 a.m., a half-hour early. : : : : : (Phil Rosenthal, Chicago Tribune) : : : Damnit. I want my 90210! omg : : I wonder if this had anything to do with Allison Payne's decision to step down (ie: She didn't feel up to doing the dreaded hours and hours of election coverage banter..) : : mark suppelsa was phenomenal tonight on 'gn. he took the lead brilliantly and showed more insight, knowledge and personality than i saw on any local or national network. jeff goldwhatever at fox was a 1 and suppelsa was a 35. i particularly liked him asking micah to take off her news hat and speak as an african american woman from chicago, and asking antwan for the behind the scenes vip area gossip.
