Thanks for the welcome all. I have been registered for awhile but just haven't posted. Like reading stuff. I usually post at WSI then found you guys here through them. Not sure if you guys have a rivalry or work together. The channel is still in the very early stages of development. Not sure what channel it will be or what other programming it will contain. Some rumors are that it will have shows like "Full Access" and other shows that FSN has for the local teams. Maybe certain programs covering specific teams. Comcast is an affiliate of the Wolves so they may have those games as well. The Comcast network, probably channel 3 or 26 in your area does the High School Games of the Week, they could expand that and move those games to the sports channel. No "Best Damn Sports Show Period" for 12 straight hours obviously. I'm pretty sure it will be on basic cable, and digital cable. DirectTV and Dish Network, I couldn't tell you right now. If those dish's have FSN, I would think you'd be able to get it. Please don't quote me on that. Hopefully Comcast won't be a bunch of jagbags and make it too difficult to get the channel on there since they are obviously competitors. Baltimore and Boston both have Comcast Sports Channels, so if you know anyone out there who has a dish, see if they get it on there. All of the above is just hearsay and nothing confirmed obviously.

It will be called the "Comcast Sports Channel Chicago" or something to that effect so it will be available on Comcast Basic Cable. I work for Comcast and have heard talks about it. Hopefully I'll be working for the channel when it does start up.
