Unless the Brewers team bus goes on a DUI rampage

[Smack]

I will be in the parking lot at 4pm to start drinking. Oh, and no, I'm not driving home!

[Keyris]

A local station broadcasts all the Cub games that are on WCIU. I don't have cable, so that's the only time I can watch a game at home :D.

lol

Let's have a win streak!

 

Win this series, take one vs the Reds and win the series against the Marlins and our record is respectable. I'd take that for a road trip.

WCIU for a Friday game? :x

Hawks and White Sox both on CSN, WGN would rather show something called "Nikita" and a rerun of something called "Oh Sit!" instead.

WGN is absolutely dead in the water if they don't win at least a partial Cubs' TV contract post-'14, aren't they?

If they do not have the Cubs broadcasts do you know how many tv providers drop them from their packages? at the very least they are dropping what they pay to have the channel. Around here the Cubs are the only reason people make sure WGN is in their tv package.

[otis89]

I'm pretty sure some providers already have dropped WGN.

[jersey cubs fan]

WGN disappeared in NYC for a decade and came back a year or two.

[XZero771679666304]

To be fair, the programming on WGN is much, much better than it was 10-15 years ago. I mean I probably wouldn't turn to WGN just to watch TV, but it's not the total snoozefest it once was.

 

That said, losing what few Cubs games they still carry would be a grievous blow to the network, and it seems all but certain that will happen at some point.

Are any of the Bulls games on WGN ever on the national broadcast?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Feel free to give the Cubs eleventy billion dollars if you want them, WGN.

Yes, most Saturday games make it on the national broadcast.

[haubrich91]

Win this please.

[Guest]

That swing looked awfully weak for a warning track fly. Jesus.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Why won't MLB.TV let me switch to the WCIU feed? Weak.

[haubrich91]

Come on Rizzo.

[Guest]

welp, that's not gonna fix rizzo's fielding war

[Guest]

I cannot remember a time that Aoki did not reach base against us.

[Guest]

Seriously?

 

Ugh.
