Noticed the Cubs were on chanel 7 yesterday, and now Saturday as well....Have they had games on there all year or has 7 picked them up since they've shown to be good?

ABC picked up 24 Cubs games before this season began, probably had something to do with WGN trying to move away from sports broadcasting.
