Where did the series start airing on Jan 31 , 1999 ?
At that same time , Chicago - based national cable superstation WGN also began airing reruns of the sitcom , with the series airing until 2002 ( when its broadcast syndication run also ended ) ; ironically , both the local Chicago feed and the national superstation feed of WGN aired " The Wayans Bros. " in first - run form from 1995 to 1999 , when WGN aired WB programming nationally to make The WB available to markets where a local affiliate did not exist ( " The Parent ' Hood " is one of four WB series to air on WGN in first - run and syndication form ; " The Wayans Bros. " , " 7th Heaven " and " Sister , Sister " are the others ) .
