When baseball season begins in the U.S. on March 27, Cubs and White Sox fans might have to search — and pay a bit more — to watch the teams’ games.
The Cubs’ Marquee Sports Network expects Comcast to move it to a higher-priced tier on its Xfinity cable system soon and does not anticipate being dropped, the Sun-Times has learned. A Comcast spokesperson had no update, and Marquee and broadcast partner Sinclair had no comment.
Meanwhile, Chicago Sports Network, the Sox’ new home, remains off Comcast but is hopeful that baseball season will prompt its carriage, though it also expects to land on a higher tier.
