Yet another ST where the most popular team in Chicago doesn't get even half it's games broadcast. Meanwhile the sox will have 80-90% of their games on tv and radio.

Winter loses its hold each February on the day where one can turn on 720 AM and hear "Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air!"

Only 46 more days until we hear Pat and Ron on the air.

I'm pretty pissed the Yankee Stadium game isn't on WGN

 

That being said, I live in NY and one of: YES Network, ESPN, or the MLB Network will definitely have it.

WGN America went HD a little over a year ago. Currently Dish Network, U-Verse, and Fios have it. I'm not sure about anybody else, although I'm pretty sure that DirectTV is one of the ones that doesn't have it yet.

one of the rare cases where Dish has something DirecTV doesn't. Hopefully they resolve it because I actually prefer it when games AREN'T on WGN these days
