WGN Superstation has snapped up the exclusive cable rights to NBC sitcom Becker, Cynthia Turner's Cynopsis reports today.

The station, based at "Chicago's Very Own" WGN-TV 9, is available in around 57m cable homes across the US, and recently launched a new look along with arch-rival TBS Superstation, based at WTBS-TV Atlanta.

Becker will premiere on WGN in the autumn.
