NBC Sports Chicago isn’t carrying Cubs games anymore, but it plans to have plenty of Cubs coverage.
“We are going to be all over the Cubs,” NBCSCH senior vice president and general manager Kevin Cross said.
NBCSCH was the Cubs’ cable home since the 2005 season, when it was called Comcast SportsNet. The Cubs launched their own channel, Marquee Sports Network, in February, after NBCSCH relaunched in October as the exclusive home for Blackhawks, Bulls and White Sox games.
The network’s mission has been to cover all Chicago teams, whether it carries their games or not.
