To regular readers familiar with these 1950s Chicago editions, it must seem unusual to see a second Milwaukee station listed along with WTMJ. It's WCAN, a CBS affiliate, and we're fortunate to see it here, because it wasn't around very long. It commenced broadcasting on September 6, just two months ago, but ceased operations in February 1955 after less than two years. Why? For the answer, which naturally involves lawsuits, you can check out the always-reliable Wikipedia. For a look at what's on TV this fine day in Chicagoland, keep going!
