Six weeks from this coming Saturday, the Cubs will play their first spring-training game of 2020, against the Athletics at Sloan Park.
The Marquee Sports Network is supposed to launch by that date and had previously announced they’d be carrying at least all the Cubs home spring-training games (and perhaps some of the road games as well).
But as of this writing, Marquee doesn’t have a carriage deal with Comcast in the Chicago metropolitan area. Comcast has 1.5 million home subscribers in the Chicago area, which is more than all the other metro area operators combined.
