Chicago Sports Network reaches a new deal that changes everything for the better
The Chicago Blackhawks will find themselves on a new streaming network for 2024-2025.
The CHSN has signed a deal with FuboTV which should be a relief for the majority of Chicago Sports fans. Up until recently, they have been subject to blackouts, and thanks to the limited reach of the network unable to view Blackhawks games regularly.
Now ahead of Game 8 on the season, the CHSN has announced that they will have a new way to view games.
But the problem with Comcast/Xfinity doesn't seem to be resolved in the meantime.
«Fubo continues to deliver more access for sports fans to watch their favorite teams, and they have made it clear that Chicago sports and their fans are an important part of that growth,» CHSN president Jason Coyle said in a news release. «As we continue to aim to be on every platform where our fans watch, we are excited about the opportunity the Fubo platform provides our fans through their flexible billing terms and availability everywhere.»
The Network will be available for Chicago sports fans as soon as today, as a monthly play costs $79.99 a month, with a $20 discount to start the subscription.
«Chicago fans are some of the most passionate in sports,» Todd Mathers, Fubo's senior vice president of content strategy and acquisition, said in a statement Friday. «We all know that sports is local, and local team coverage is a priority for Fubo's sports-first content strategy. With the launch of CHSN on Fubo we're ready to superserve Chicagoans with even more coverage of their most iconic teams.»
The Blackhawks regular season began on October 8th, and it's proven to be a sticking point for many of the disgruntled fanbase.
So this is welcome news for many and a way to bypass the greed of Comcast/Xfinity.
The joint-venture Chicago Sports Network is the next spot to view the Bulls, White Sox, and Blackhawks after a 20-year run on NBC Universal/NBC Sports Chicago.
