‘Only Greed or Ineptitude’ Will Prevent Marquee from Wide Launch by Season Opener

Marquee Sports Network got off to a fast start by agreeing to carriage deals with AT&T, Mediacom, and Charter Communications this offseason, but that still leaves roughly 60% of the desired market uncovered.

Sources have told Cubs Insider that an agreement is a “foregone conclusion,” but we now sit less than two weeks from Cubs Convention with nary a peep from either side.
