ABC 7 Chicago (WLS-TV) was once known as WENR-TV when it first went on the air on September 17, 1948. Following the 1946 signings of WGN-TV and WBKB (now WBBM-TV), it was the third station to enter the Chicago area. After WABC-TV New York, it is the second station that was once owned by ABC on channel seven. It combined with WLS-AM and used the same frequency until 1954 when ABC acquired a 50% stake in WLS. In the middle of the 1950s, this station began airing The Tom Duggan, the most-watched program in the Chicago market, which led to competition from other networks. On October 7, 1968, Channel WENR-TV changed its name to WLS-TV, based on WLS Radio (890AM), which has been owned by ABC since 1959.

ABC 7 News Chicago, an ABC-owned overnight subscription television network, debuted on January 17, 1984. It features modern movies and lifestyle shows for four hours every night, six days a week, before shutting down at two in the morning. However, Tele Ist’s efforts were unsuccessful, and on June 30, 1984, it closed.
