Balta1701 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well, that'll be the last time I watch WGN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hurtin Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) One thing I didn't see in the article is when this is going to start. I wonder if this means more OTA games, or more CSN games. Edited May 30, 2014 by Big Hurtin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Now they can show 6-12 more hours of America's Funniest Videos every week. Give the people what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm confused as to why anyone watches WGN if it's not for their sports???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I guess it's not too relevant anymore but this is more or less what made the Cubs nationally relevant, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I think they know these deals are about to get really f***ing expensive, and they have no interest in bidding ridiculous amounts of money to be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hurtin Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The articles I see online mention the Cubs' contract being up after this season, unsurprisingly, there's no White Sox mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm not gonna lie, this makes me selfishly happy for the schadenfreude of it. New England is the only part of the country that doesn't get WGN America so every argument I have with friends about anything unrelated is always ended with "but we have WGN". Though I guess it hasn't affected me that much anyway because it forced me to pick up MLB.tv and I've never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Looks like I will not see many Sox games. It is a joke to live 90 miles straight south of Chicago and no way to see Sox play many games on tv. WGN and WCIU are my only lifelines, got mlbtv but blacked out even though I have no access to Comcast Sportnet Chicago. My cable company is based out of Missouri and I live in northern most point.

greg775 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 WGN is totally irrelevant now. No reason to watch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickofypres Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Too bad. When I couldn't afford MLB.TV (when I was in middle school...) I used to love looking forward to WGN games here in Ohio. Indians, Tigers, FOX, and ESPN feeds were convenient being in the central...but it was always nice to get the home feed back then.

I want to feel bad for ya, but I don't understand any of this. How do you live 90 miles straight south of Chicago and your cable company is based in Missouri? And you live in the northern most point? I am not great with geography, but wtf. Regardless, have you googled "how to bypass MLB.TV blackouts" or something similar? Might cost you a couple bucks for a reliable proxy, but would be worth it if you already have MLB.TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Wave Communications bought the rights in my area that is how I get a cable company based out of Missouri. I get all the Cardinal games on Fox Sports Midwest. Only game in town. I had a buddy do the proxy with MLB.TV he got caught. Edited May 31, 2014 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you can't get DirecTV or Dish? You would get CSN Chicago as your regional sports network at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
