To say it's been a DISASTER for the new Chicago Sports Network would be an understatement. In addition to the Bulls & Blackhawks continuing their losing ways, CHSN still hasn't been able to secure carriage deals with Xfinity and other Chicago area cable systems 1 month into its launch as the replacement for NBC Sports Chicago.

While CHSN & Xfinity in particular remains stalled, the new TV home of the Bulls, Hawks & White Sox will soon go ahead with its Direct to Consumer option. That's the word from the Sun-Times' Jeff Agrest.

Xfinity customers may have noticed a credit on their cable bill as a result of NBCSC no longer available.

It's believed CHSN will have more details in the coming days in regards to price & programming when the DTC is officially announced.

CHSN currently has deals with DIRECTV Satellite & DIRECTV Stream, along with RCN/Astound & signed a deal about 2 weeks ago with Fubo TV to carry the channel there.
