WGN No More?

[Kid]

Waiting for the financial terms to come out might inform the deal better.  Does the tweet say the deal IS worth 750 per or is it quoting "market value" to make a guess?  To your point, WGN may not have been losing 200K per game, but it's hard to imagine they were profiting based on their ratings.  

 

ESPN Chicago reports that sources say the deal actually is for $750K/game, thoroughly disproving both WGN's claims that they were only receiving $50K/game in revenue last season, and certain other arguments about the effect of recent years' ratings (I'm still not debating this again).

 

Also, the Trib reports, as I had guessed, that most of the WLS games will be on the weekends to avoid disrupting the ABC television schedule.
