The record has been set clear by the Chicago Sports Network on their issues and it gets worse
There a visibly angry Chicago Blackhawks fans who have been present on social media regarding their inability to watch their team on the television.
While there are other methods which to watch your team, including using streaming sites, and VPN you'd think instead of pushing your customers to use those you'd make the games available.
Apparently not, as Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times had clarified the issues of the Chicago Sports Network for local fans.
In what should be seen as a huge foul-up by the Blackhawks' leadership, local fans cannot currently view the Blackhawks thanks to an impasse with Comcast.
You'd think this deal would've been the first pain point for the front office from Danny Wirtz, to Jamie Faulkner to address. You want fans to view your product right?
Well for now, only those out-of-market Blackhawks fans will be able to view games on ESPN+ while local fans are blacked out for the time being.
For now, local fans are at the mercy and in the middle of the fallout between NBC Sports Chicago, an RSN, and Chicago Sports Network and their negotiations with Comcast.
Meaning, that they don't know when they'll be able to view Connor Bedard locally unless they use other methods that aren't approved of.
This is another case of asset mismanagement, and the fans will have to pay for it in the long run.
