Daarnaast produceert de zender het half uur durende public affairs- programma The 411 , dat op zondag om 06.30 uur wordt uitgezonden en later die ochtend opnieuw wordt uitgezonden op WNOL-TV. On April 1, 2012, Tribune Broadcasting removed all WGNO, WNOL, and its then 21 other television stations from satellite provider DirecTV due to a carriage dispute over an increase in payments to transmit the stations' signals. By coincidence, the station's callsign reflects a connection with Tribune's flagship television station in Chicago, WGN-TV (whose own call letters stand for "World's Greatest Newspaper", in reference to the longtime slogan of the company's founding newspaper, the Chicago Tribune); however, channel 26 had the "WGN" lettering in its callsign twelve years before Tribune even bought the station; this connection, coupled with the fact that two other Tribune-owned television stations also incorporated the "WGN" name in their callsigns (Denver's KWGN-TV and Atlanta's WGNX (now WGCL-TV), the former of which remains owned by the company), channel 26 kept the WGNO call letters. NO It Alls eindigde in maart 1996 met de start van de nieuwsprogramma's van de zender. The station was sold to Communications Corp. of the South in 1971; after the purchase was finalized, the station changed its call letters to WGNO-TV on March 9, 1972. Het station is eigendom van de Tribune Broadcasting dochteronderneming van de Tribune Media Company, als onderdeel van een duopolie met CW affiliate WNOL-TV (kanaal 38).

In 1969, the station experimented with a 24-hour daily schedule, claiming to be the first television station in the United States to broadcast on such a schedule; however, this format was short-lived. The station—which broadcast for eight hours a day from late afternoon to midnight during its first years of operation—maintained a general entertainment programming format consisting mostly of older movies, some theatrical cartoon shorts and a few off-network syndicated programs.

Jarenlang na zijn toetreding tot ABC, had WGNO de onderscheiding dat het een van de grootste grote netwerkpartners was op basis van marktomvang die geen nieuwsuitzending op doordeweekse ochtend of middag produceerde; dit veranderde op 8 september 2008, toen het station om 11.00 uur debuteerde met een nieuwsuitzending van een half uur; dit werd op 29 september gevolgd door de lancering van een twee uur durende ochtendjournaal, Good Morning New Orleans , die loopt van 05:00 tot 07:00 uur. During its first decade on the air, the station also cherry-picked several programs from NBC, ABC and CBS that WDSU (channel 6), WVUE-TV (then on channel 12, now on channel 8) and WWL-TV chose not to broadcast.
