WGN No More?
I'm sure this is a huge factor in current negotiations with Comcast. Will be interesting to see if RSN subscribers actually receive any partial refunds, but that appears to be on the table.

Marquee clearly getting desperate for content!

Desipio absolutely destroys Ace. I laughed so hard reading this that a little piece of wee came out.

Did Ace lose his Athletic podcasting gig? Not being a dick, just wondering since he hasn't been on "Onto Waveland" for a while. Maybe Marquee lured him away with bags of money.

Omg I literally snorted at Desipio calling him "Bort".

 

 

Last night i saw he posted the clip of himself saying that line to Levine about being sexy....yeesh that was just cringe.

In that same Athletic Q&A I posted about in the other thread, they were asked if it will be a 2-person podcast going forward.  Mooney responded:  "We will be rotating guests and we hope to continue to have Brett involved moving forward."

Yep, saw that too. I think it has more to do with budget cuts at the Athletic than anything. They let Andy Dolan go earlier this year for similar reasons. I guess the everflowing private equity money had to end at some point.

Sounds like the TV deal is complete. Marquee is now available on Comcast

I can't imagine it won't be up by tonight's game, which is on Marquee (it's also on ESPN, but that's not an exclusive broadcast and so will presumably be blacked out in Chicago).  Tomorrow's game is not on Marquee because it's a Fox exclusive.

I just looked at my xfinity stream app, and it isn't there yet. A friend told me he can watch on his regular set top box though, so maybe it's being switched on on a rolling basis.

You're right, for some reason I thought I saw first televised game for Comcast would be Friday against Milwaukee.  Then i realized today was friday.  Against Milwaukee.  Fucking COVID.

WGN Radio just fired their overnight guy Nick Digilio. What the fuck?! I've been listening to him for almost two decades. Son of a bitch...
