Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Wednesday the signing of a multiyear carriage agreement with Mediacom Communications for Marquee Sports Network, which will go live in February as the exclusive home of Cubs baseball. This new deal expands access to the new regional sports network in certain parts of the Cubs’ stronghold in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring Marquee Sports Network to Mediacom customers,” read a statement from Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney. “When you combine this deal with AT&T, we can guarantee that Cubs fans in our home territory across Chicago and the Midwest will have the ability to access the network next year.
