April 6, 20179 yr With the next 2 White Sox games airing on WGN-TV for the first time in 2017 (weather permitting), here is my complete summary of free, over-the-air TV stations in the 3 state area which will be showing games: Chicago 55 games + 1 pre-season: WGN-TV, Channel 9 (Independent) http://wgntvsales.com/Sports/White_Sox_Schedule.pdf South Bend 53 games + 1 pre-season: WMYS-LD, Channel 69 (my network TV) 2 games: WCWW-LD, Channel 25 (The CW) http://www.abc57.com/story/34652923/2017-c...x-games-on-wmys Indianapolis 35 games + 1 pre-season: WNDY-TV Marion, IN, Channel 23-1 (my network TV) 20 games: WISH-TV Indianapolis, Channel 8 (The CW) / simulcast on WNDY-TV Marion, IN, Channel 23-3 (The CW) http://wishtv.com/2017/03/27/2017-cubs-and...dcast-schedule/ https://lintvwish.files.wordpress.com/2017/...chedule-pdf.pdf Springfield, IL / Decatur / Champaign 30 games: WBUI Decatur, Channel 23-2 (this TV) 25 games: Channel 23-1 (The CW) http://cw23tv.com/sports/mlb/mlb-on-cw23 Peoria / Bloomington, IL 51 games: WAOE Peoria, Channel 59 (my network TV) - 4 games not airing due to scheduling conflict with WLS-TV Cubs broadcasts http://my59.tv/programs/chicago-white-sox-on-my59/ http://my59.tv/documents/White_Sox_2017_Schedule.pdf Rockford 55 games: WIFR Freeport, Channel 23-3 (Justice Network) http://www.wifr.com (scroll down to box at middle, right side) http://media.graytvinc.com/documents/White...e+2017_REV3.pdf Quad Cities 1 pre-season game: KWQC-TV Davenport, Channel 6-3 (COZI TV) https://www.facebook.com/KWQCTV6Promotions/ (scroll down to video) 53 games: WQAD-TV Moline, Channel 8-3 (my network TV) 2 games: Channel 8-1 (ABC) https://localtvwqad.files.wordpress.com/201...of-02-21-17.pdf Cedar Rapids / Waterloo / Iowa City 18 games + 1 pre-season: KCRG-TV Cedar Rapids, Channel 9-2 (my network TV) 7 games: Channel 9-3 (Antenna TV) 1 game: Channel 9-1 (ABC) 29 games: To Be Determined: Channels 9-2, 9-3, or 9-1 http://www.kcrg.com/content/sports/Chicago...-414271483.html Quincy / Hannibal Unknown: WGEM-TV Quincy Last season this TV station aired 4 White Sox games, but the scheduled was not announced until May. Two Crosstown games with Cubs announcers on July 24th and 26th (produced / distributed by WLS-TV in Chicago) are airing on some of the TV stations listed above, but at some areas the station is different. Once again, Sox games are not airing at Des Moines and Ft. Wayne, two cities which had some Sox games on local TV in 2015. There really is no excuse for games not showing at Des Moines because Tribune Broadcasting (the owner of WGN-TV) also owns a TV station at Des Moines: Channel 13 WHO-DT (NBC / weather / Antenna TV / this TV). How difficult is it for WGN to simply mandate that all Sox games air on a sub-channel of a TV station the company already owns? By the way, Chicago's N.L. team has new TV affiliates airing partial schedules at Sioux City, Lafayette, and Terre Haute. I guess they don't like the Chicago White Sox .
April 6, 20179 yr Yeah, it sucks. I literally have no legal way to watch nearly a third of the games.
