Marquee Sports Network, the exclusive television home of the Chicago Cubs, will launch on Saturday across multiple carriers. Though several carriage deals remain in limbo as of press time, it’s expected that Marquee will eventually work something out with Comcast, YouTube TV, and others. You could be waiting until well into the regular season on the former, though, as sources have told Cubs Insider the negotiations could drag into May.
For those who do have access, the network goes on the air at 1pm CT with Marquee Debut, a show featuring a preview of future programming, a look at inside access to the team, and a tribute to WGN.
