Wednesday brought big news on the Marquee Sports Network front, as Sinclair Broadcasting announced a multi-year carriage deal with Mediacom Communications. That means more momentum for the broader adoption of the new channel, as both AT&T (which includes DirecTV, DirecTV Now, and U-Verse) and Charter Communications had previously agreed to multi-year deals.
Though we don’t really know the internal timeline set by the folks at Sinclair Broadcasting, it would appear that things are ahead of schedule based solely on industry warnings of protracted negotiations. Crane Kenney, the Cubs’ president of business operations, joined 670 The Score’s Mully & Haugh Thursday to discuss the latest announcement and what’s next.
