Welcome to Part III of my dive into Cub finances. It is time to talk about the nascent Marquee Sports Network.
Marquee is the Cubs’ new regional sports network (RSN) and will begin broadcasting Cubs games in 2020. It will replace the hodgepodge of television options of the past several years that included games on WGN, ABC, and NBC Sports Chicago and will carry original content as well as coverage of some other local sports.
The new network is a partnership between the Cubs and Sinclair Media, which also owns a share of the Yankees’ YES Network and 21 other FOX Sports RSNs spun of by Disney recently.
