CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs are confident that in-market streaming for some of their games in 2016 will be available while still keeping an eye on launching their own television network after their current deals expire.
“Right now we control launching our own network in 2020,” president of business operations Crane Kenney said Saturday at the Cubs' fan convention. “As we have conversations, which are ongoing, if someone offers us something dramatically better we’ll look at it.”
Creating their own network could involve building studio space, which means they may have a decision on their future by 2018.
