Wednesday afternoon, the Cubs announced that the Marquee Network had signed a deal for coverage on suburban Chicago carrier WOW! (And yes, the capitalization and exclamation point is how that company identifies itself.)
Thursday morning, Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney appeared on 670 The Score to give further updates on the status of Marquee’s talks with other carriers — especially Comcast/Xfinity, the largest carrier in the Chicago metro area.
Kenney said — and you probably could have guessed this — that they’re spending a great deal of time negotiating deals with various providers.
