But the network’s long-awaited announcement of its existence didn’t fill in many blanks.
The first game on CHSN (get used to that abbreviation) likely will be a Hawks preseason game. The NHL’s preseason begins in September, and it has yet to be determined where Hawks game that month will air. Bulls preseason games will follow in October, and the Sox will debut next year, likely in spring training.
The network’s studio programming will emanate from Guaranteed Rate Field and the United Center, where CHSN is expanding and improving operations in the space where Stadium is in the Atrium.
