I was doing some inquiries of my own on the Sox and WGN baseball broadcasts for 2015 and this is what I just received back today

 

 

We anticipate having at least 30 in-season games televised by WGN thru the 2019 season.

Thank you for your interest in the Chicago White Sox.

Thanks for sharing

How does this compare to previous seasons? I feel like the Sox played most Saturday and Sunday games on WGN.

I don't believe the games will be broadcast on "WGN-A", as in WGN-America, but rather WGN-TV, local channel 9 in the Chicagoland area.

Seems that local WGN translated to WGN america last season, however no luck in finding any Bulls/Blachhawks games on WGN American when broadcasted by logal WGN. Any idea as to why?

WGN had 30 games last year, 25 more on WCIU.

They always have been on WGN-A. That better not change or there will be 50+ games a year I have no legal way of watching.

Used to be 50 games on WGN - A

I am not real familiar with the WGN and WGNA designation or difference. But, hopefully I am good here with WGNA as our local cable provider just upgraded to HD for that channel

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this news came out earlier this year:

Originally, there was just one WGN. Once WGN picked up a network affiliation (that was the WB and is now the CW), they had to send out a second signal with alternate programming to viewers outside the Chicago area since network programming would be blacked out in any location that had a local CW station. Eventually, the two stations diverged to the point that the only common programming was Bulls/Sox/Cubs games and the evening news.

 

WGN America (which is what everybody outside the Chicago metro area gets) has decided to stop showing Cubs/Sox games, so they will now only air on the local version of WGN.
