\"\"<\/a>Over a year ago, the White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks announced<\/a> that they were partnering with Standard Media Group to create the new television broadcast home for all three teams, which eventually became Chicago Sports Network (CHSN for short).\u00a0 Starting in October, the network went live missing one small little thing: a carriage agreement with Comcast, the largest cable provider in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Ratings for the Blackhawks this past season, their first on the new network, were down 78% from the previous year on NBC Sports Chicago.\u00a0 The Bulls were looking at a 63% decrease as of February.\u00a0 The White Sox, coming off a season where they set the MLB record for losses in a year, were not exactly worth the $29.99 the network was charging for streaming.<\/p>\n

Well, that all changes today.\u00a0 Word broke yesterday that the fledgling network had finally reached agreement with Comcast to be added to their channel line-up.\u00a0 They are expected to be placed on the Ultimate tier plan, which will add $20 to your cable bill if you are not already subscribed.\u00a0 The Cubs’ Marquee Sports Network is expected to be moved to the same tier following this season.\u00a0 With live sports seemingly one of the few reasons to keep cable, it seems that providers are looking to soak their customers for as much as they can before everything moves to streaming.<\/p>\n
