Marquee Sports Network GM confident Cubs will be on Comcast
“I’m starting to lose you. Hello?”
That was Marquee Sports Network general manager Mike McCarthy when asked for an update on the carriage talks between his network and Comcast, which has yet to pick up the channel. It wasn’t the first time he played the joke, either.
“Good memory,” he said. “I’ll have to come up with another one.”
McCarthy, who previously was president of MSG Network in New York, knows all about carriage talks. But he wouldn’t reveal much regarding the ones that affect lots of Cubs fans, except to say he’s confident a deal will get done.
