The Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) has been launched to broadcast live games from three Chicago professional teams: the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox. The network announced on Monday that it will begin airing in October through various platforms, providing coverage for over 300 live games annually, as well as pre- and postgame analysis. CHSN will offer multisport programming 24 hours a day and will be a joint venture between the three teams and Standard Media.
Starting with the Blackhawks and Bulls preseason games in October, White Sox games will be added to the lineup starting in 2025. The remainder of the White Sox games in 2024 will continue to be broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago. Pending approval from the leagues, CHSN will be available in most of Illinois, as well as parts of Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The network has already secured agreements with traditional cable providers and streaming services, and will also be accessible through free over-the-air broadcast.
Jason Coyle has been appointed as the president of CHSN. Coyle emphasizes the network’s commitment to serving fans by ensuring widespread distribution and high-quality production. Standard Media, CHSN’s partner company based in Nashville, Tennessee
