Anyone seen anything yet in terms of what local affiliates around the midwest will pick up WGN games this year?

 

 

Here is the information that is known so far, most of this just became available yesterday, on Friday, February 24th:

 

Chicago

 

55 games + 1 pre-season: WGN-TV, Channel 9 (Independent)

The biggest change I see so far is that in Central Illinois, WBUI Decatur has decided to pick-up all 55 regular season games, up from just 10 Sox games which aired in 2016. Also, in Chicago WPWR-TV Gary is no longer airing any Sox games. Those 20 telecasts have moved to WGN-TV, therefore all 56 WGN produced Sox games will air on 1 TV station. This change actually went into effect on September 1st last year when WGN-TV dropped affiliation with The CW network and became Independent. Nice to see that the single pre-season telecast from WGN Sports takes place at Camelback Ranch instead of the Cubs facility!

 

If anyone knows about any other TV stations airing games in 2017, please let me know.
