Abc26 Wgno

WGNO is the ABC affiliate for the greater New Orleans, Louisiana area, as well as parts of southern and coastal Mississippi. It broadcasts on digital channel 26-1, and is owned by Tribune Company. The station offers ABC programming along with syndicated programming and local news. Its transmitter is located in New Orleans.

In 1997, WNOL came under management by Tribune, and WGNO officially became sister station to WNOL after Tribune purchased the latter in 2000, creating a "duopoly" operation in the market.

In July 2005, the station moved its facilities from the World Trade Center New Orleans to a facility at the New Orleans Centre.

On the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (August 29, 2007), WGNO began broadcasting from new high-definition-ready studios in the Galleria Center in nearby Metairie. Included in WGNO's new facility are a brand-new news set and weather center.

WGNO now broadcasts 4 hours of local news on weekdays including Good Morning New Orleans 5:00-7:00 am, WGNO News at 11:00 am, News with a Twist at 5:00 and 6:00 , and WGNO News at 10:00 pm.
