White Sox reportedly find radio home on WGN
If you’ve been deeply concerned about where—or whether—you would be able to listen to White Sox Baseball on the radio this season, fret no more. While nothing is official at this point, Bruce Levine is reporting that WGN Radio is close to acquiring the rights to broadcast Sox games for the 2018 season and beyond.
This change was necessitated by WLS parent company Cumulus Media filing bankruptcy and being released from several of its most unprofitable contracts, including those with the White Sox and Bulls. The teams spent just two years on WLS despite signing a six-year agreement and are now being split up, with the Bulls joining the Cubs on WSCR The Score and the Sox headed to WGN.
