WGN Schedule - Andy - 02-04-2010
All new low. Only 58 games scheduled for WGN.
Unfortunately they make twice as much per game on cable as they do on WGN. It does make you wonder if they've taken into consideration how many fans they gain/lose by their WGN schedule.

No doubt about that. Thanks for the heads up Andy.

It's pretty short-sighted, if you ask me.

It is indeed, but aren't we the last remaining superstation that still broadcasts a single market nationally? I guess they are hoping that between the 50-60 games broadcast on WGN and the rest on MLB.tv, we will still have a strong presence nationally, at least relative to other teams.

I wish Comcast would let me have the Chicago version of Comcast Sports, even though I presently live 600 miles from Chicago.

Shitty. Here's to another year of Gameday Audio, hopefully.

Opening day is on WCIU? What the fuck? The one fucking channel I don't get. I hope ESPN picks it up.
WGN Schedule - rok - 02-04-2010
That is just idiotic to have Opening Day on WCIU. I understand it is still run by WGN sports, but that's weak sauce not to have EVERY opening day on Ch 9. So much for tradition.

Jack Brickhouse just threw up a little in my mouth.

Who are we, the White Sox?
WGN Schedule - jeffy - 02-04-2010
It sucks, but it's nothing new guys. WGN didn't carry Opening Day last year either, remember?
