It took many months, but Bulls, Blackhawks & White Sox fans who have been unable to watch their favorite teams on Comcast/Xfinity since CHSN replaced NBC Sports Chicago October 1 last year are FINALLY getting their wish.

An agreement between Chicago Sports Network & Comcast was reached late Wednesday night that'll put the new channel on the city's largest cable provider starting Friday, according to the Sun-Times' Jeff Agrest.

The plan is to put CHSN on the system's Ultimate tier, which will cost customers $20 more per month. 670 AM The SCORE afternoon co-host Laurence Holmes also shared news of the CHSN/Comcast deal Wednesday night on Twitter/X.

Now, if those teams could just put a better product out there we will be all set!

Say goodbye to watching CHSN on WJYS 62.2 & 62.3.

Hi ABRockNJock I didn't see that on the CHSN website
I may not be looking in the right place.
Can you please provide a link.

I believe it will be $20 a month on top of an already $24 per month r3gional sports fee. That is expecting a lot from fans to watch teams that do not even make it to the playoffs.

They offered it for free, but the people demanded to pay for it.
So they gave the people what they wanted.....

Actually, it was Jeff Agrest's Twitter/X account, shown above, that provided the info regarding which markets are losing CHSN's over the air signal.

I've been to CHSN.com myself on a few occasions. If you're looking for written stories, I think you have to look elsewhere. They do have links to podcasts as well as providing a great deal of video content.

A case in point from Friday morning's "Mully & Haugh Show" they simulcast with 670 AM The SCORE. CHSN's Brooke Fletcher & Connor McKnight joined Mike & David to discuss Xfinity/Comcast FINALLY signing on with the regional sports network late last week after a 8 month ordeal as well as the White Sox.

I don't know if this link will help...
