Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) is set to launch in October and will become the new home for preseason games of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks. The White Sox will join the network in 2025, and for now, their regular season games will still be available on NBC Sports Chicago. CHSN is a collaboration between the three teams and Standard Media, a Nashville-based company that owns four local media stations across the country.
Jason Coyle, who has been named president of CHSN, stated that the main focus of the network was to prioritize fans. They want to provide innovative in-game and studio production and reach as many markets as possible within their rights. The network will be accessible through traditional cable providers, streaming services, and over-the-air broadcast.
The new partnership with CHSN provides fans with more opportunities to watch their favorite team games across multiple platforms. Currently, most Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox regular season games are broadcasted on NBC Sports Chicago which was formerly known as Comcast Sportsnet Chicago. However, in 2020, Marquee Sports Network became the exclusive local television home of the Cubs. With this new partnership, fans can now enjoy their favorite team’s games on a wider range of platforms than ever before.
In conclusion, CHSN’s launch is an exciting development for sports fans in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
