The Cubs are scheduled for six appearances on Fox and the White Sox five.

I have good news and bad news about baseball broadcasting this season.

The good news is that Marquee Sports Network and NBC Sports Chicago are unaffected by the upheaval other regional sports networks are facing. The owner of the Bally Sports-branded RSNs, Diamond Sports Group, filed for bankruptcy, clouding the channels’ future. Warner Bros. Discovery, which has RSNs branded AT&T SportsNet, wants out of the business.

The bad news is that watching baseball will cost you more than it did last season.
