Some news has now surfaced regarding what's holding things up between CHSN & Comcast/Xfinity.

At issue now, per a Saturday report in The Athletic, CHSN is seeking "to be available in as many homes as possible" and supposedly want to be on Xfinity's highest tier. It's a far cry from where NBC Sports Chicago was on the cable system's tier.

There's now talk about CHSN negotiating with Fubo and Hulu, 2 of the largest streaming services in the country. So far, Bulls' fans have missed 2 NBA Preseason games vs Cleveland & Memphis while Blackhawks' fans have missed out on NHL early regular season games in Winnipeg & Edmonton.
