After 70-plus years of Cubs baseball on WGN-TV and various other networks, Cubs baseball (apart from a handful of national games on ESPN and Fox-TV) was seen exclusively in 2020 on their new channel, Marquee Sports Network.
Some things were the same — Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies on play-by-play and analysis, respectively. Some things were different — additional voices in the booth. Some things were new — extended pre- and post-game coverage as well as other Cubs-related programming on the network.
How did they do? I want to preface this by saying that Marquee couldn’t have had worse luck in launching a new TV channel in the middle of a pandemic, which changed pretty much everything they wanted to do.
