Hawks, Bulls, & Sox new channel is Chicago Sports Network (CHSN)

[Fenway]

Us Hawks fans are used to it! ;o) Still remember Hawkvision PPV when I was a kid a lifetime ago.

Hawkvision was designed for bars with a satellite dish but most bars quickly discovered they could lock in the visiting team signal from the Stadium that was not scrambled.

Sportsvision had the same issue in 1983 - Here is the uplink for WSBK-TV in Boston on Bobby Hull Night. The Boston announcers didn't go live until Part 2




Then there was the night Wayne Messmer decided to sing O Canada in French and English with lyrics that nobody had ever heard before.

So they haven't even finished their website yet. I guess all the college interns that Reinsdorf gave jobs to as a favor to his friends and family need more time.

The website was supposed to launch October 1st and now it's just "soon". You can't make this shit up.

Yeah, they’ve absolutely f***ed this one.

I guarantee they still blackout the games on ESPN+, even though most of their customers can't watch games without buying and hooking up a damn antenna.

By the way, if you're watching the game tonight on CHSN, we better get feedback.

As Uverse user flipped it on to see if seamless transition and noticed something

I assume the fact they are playing an intro over and over of CHSN coming soon on channels #1741 and 1742 (741/742 for non-HD) means that infact CHSN will have a secondary channel available like Comcast/NBC Sports Chicago did

I do wonder something. Does CHSN own rights to Hawks/Bulls/Sox legacy stuff such as old games, etc that appeared on NBC Sports Chicago? If not they are going to struggle for programming to fill in channel content

Advertisers aren't going to spend $ to air adds if there is no programming all day on channel

We shall see I guess on these things

I’ll be watching it on ESPN+ so I can tell you what it’s like.

My attitude is that if I miss so much as a period of the regular season because they couldn’t get their gears in shape with the area’s largest cable provider, that’s the Blackhawks telling me that they’re fine not getting money from me this season. In which case sure, guess I won’t be buying any Hawks merch this Christmas and birthday.

ECHL Bison’s gain, I suppose.

I was hoping to hear from someone watching the actual channel, since production will be different.

BWC got you covered.

I'll probably have the antenna by then, so I'll see what's up.

Assuming you can get a good enough signal to watch it, right? Lol

You look to be in good shape according to that map, but our relatives in Romeoville might not be so lucky.

Their "website" is actually hilarious. It launched. Chock full of errors and missing updates that were made two weeks ago. Holy shit. They seriously have somebody's high school kid working on this, don't they?
