Who's Got the Ball on NBC Sports Chicago?
Let's talk about NBC Sports Chicago. It’s like the ultimate Chicago sports fan's playground, right? Unless you can’t find it. Then it’s more like a playground with a locked gate.
Who Owns This Sports Channel Anyway?
You might be wondering, "Who the heck owns this channel?" Well, it's a bit of a sports mogul party. We've got Comcast, the big cheese in the cable world, holding a quarter of the shares. Then there's Jerry Reinsdorf, the man behind the Bulls and White Sox, owning a whopping 50%. And finally, the Wirtz Corporation, owners of the Blackhawks, have the remaining 25%. So basically, it's a sports fan's dream team of ownership.
Where Can I Find This Channel?
Now, the real question is: where can you actually watch this thing? If you're lucky enough to live in the Chicago area, you might find it on Comcast, RCN, WOW!, AT&T U-verse, or DirecTV. But don’t get too excited, because if you're outside that magical Chicago bubble, you might need some extra packages or subscriptions. It's like they're trying to make it exclusive or something.
The Great NBC Sports Chicago Drought
Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or should I say, the DISH and Sling in the room? These two TV providers decided to be drama queens and dropped NBC Sports Chicago. It's like they want us to suffer! But fear not, loyal sports fans, there are still plenty of other providers out there willing to give you your sports fix.
