Yep.

"For those who have not yet made the switch, WGN's 9pm news will be simulcast on WWME Channel 23 for a few weeks, every night. The simulcast only applies to the News at Nine and not other WGN programs."

As Zenithfan1 said, it does have video programming, though that seems to be just to meet the 'letter of the law" for a TV station license, but not its "spirit". The obtaining of a low-power TV station license on channel 6 with the specific intent to act as a radio station is what I meant by "pseudo-radio-station". New York City has one of these as well, and I saw comments by someone who was disappointed that a particular FM radio tuner could not tune down to 87.75 "properly", when it is of course not in the radio broadcast band at all.
