WGN is carrying 70 games this year? That's a decent improvement over the last few years. Me likey!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

At least there are 8 games I won't feel bad for not watching.

I was curious, so I checked last year's schedule.

 

CSN 70

WGN 64 (3 potential ESPN games, 1 potential FOX game)

FOX 10

CSN+ 8

WCIU 8

ESPN 4

 

Not a huge difference, but it's a nice change.

I guess my memory was a little fuzzy. I thought WGN carried fewer games than that last year.

Cool, would like to be able to watch a few more games on WGN. Don't think I'll be ponying up for Extra Innings this year.

thank you for reminding me to cancel.

Thankfully not many on WCIU, the only games I don't get.

I don't remember WGN ever broadcasting a game when the game is also on FOX. I thought FOX has exclusive rights during the time period that they broadcast games.

If Fox elects to pick up the game, it will be moved to Fox's time slot, and WGN won't broadcast it.

Gotcha. Thanks

Damn you for posting that.

Not going EI but unless they drastically increase the price I'm still doing MLB at bat. I love Pat.

I assume that is the radio one? How much do they get for that?

 

I don't think I'm buying EI or Center Ice or any of those anymore because you don't get the internet streaming also. I think they're about the same price, and with the internet streaming apps through the ps3 and other portals, I can watch on the TV when I'm home anyway. With EI only, I'm SOL when I'm not home.

$20 for the entire season. Home and road broadcasts for every pre-, regular and postseason game.
