Comcast Sports New 24-Hour Network

Comcast Corp., the largest U.S. cable television provider, created a 24-hour regional sports network with the four professional teams in Chicago: the Cubs, White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks.

Comcast SportsNet Chicago will carry 248 regular-season games as well as some preseason and postseason games of the four teams. The agreement provides that each team will offer the network the same number of games required under its previous agreement with News Corp.’s Fox Sports Net.
