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

[IU Hawks fan]

didnt ballys just go into bankruptcy to reorg? last year or two? if so, why are they insisting on going that route

No, that was Sinclair/Diamond Sports Group. Bally simply owned the naming rights to the network, they weren't involved otherwise.

Bally’s not financially liable in bankruptcy of Bally’s cable sports network

Casino operator Bally’s Corp. doesn’t have any financial responsibility from the meltdown of a nationwide regional sports network that carries the company’s name.Diamond Sports Group is looking to restructure or eliminate some of the channels under the Bally Regional Sports Network that ow

lol: Substandard Media: Chicago Sports Network's broadcast partner isn't doing channel, fans any favors

 

[bwana63]

the die hards and the idle rich (hyperbole alert) will spring for ~$20/mo, but casual fans, budget-conscious fans and the hockey curious won't. what a disaster

Fubo has finally been added. Certainly not a popular service, but it's something.

Edit: There is also a 7 day free trial for Fubo if you were in desperate need to watch a particular Hawks game airing on CHSN and didn't have any other means to watch.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Could mean it's offered standalone by FUBO before CHSN gets their shit together and does it themselves.

Fubo just gave cord cutters a major upgrade — here's what's new

Fubo just added standalone ways to watch sports and streaming services without cable

In the last few years of watching hockey on ESPN+ as an out of market Hawks fan I have basically never had an issue with quality. This year it constantly buffers and goes to a view so cloudy you can’t see anything. I’ve watched a lot of other games and this is never an issue.

Not buying this is some weird coincidence.

Their broadcast is shit. Their channel is shit. Their production crew is shit. We shouldn't be shocked that the product they're putting out is shit.

Bally was simply a title sponsor

Bally is based in Rhode Island and they are building a casino resort at 777 W. Chicago where the Tribune was printed.

So Fubo will be $95 a month plus tax


Fubo offers a free trial before costing $59.99 for the first month, then $79.99 monthly. Subscribers also will pay a regional-sports fee of $14.99 per month that includes CHSN and Marquee Sports Network.

Chicago Sports Network now available on streaming service Fubo

CHSN announced Friday that Fubo will carry the network on its Pro base channel plan immediately, in time for the Bulls' game in Milwaukee.

This was the first year I've had ESPN+. How long has NHL and Blackhawk games been on ESPN+? I had no idea and have always been getting Center Ice through DirecTV.

These guys must be doing a copious amount of whippits if they expect people to drop $100 a month to watch our teams lose.

Espn+ has been a bad production for several years now.

Espn+ has been a bad production for several years now.

It’s always been crystal clear HD for me, never with any buffering or quality issues and has been ever since they started offering most NHL games…. So what, we are now on season 3 of them picking up most games?

Same goes for literally any other team I’ve watched so far this year.

Internet speed is a gig so that’s not the issue either.

Yeah I have issues loading the streams and with picture quality. It sucks.

If CHSN has an app I'd buy that.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

I have no issues with ESPN+. I have a game on my 2nd screen almost every night.

 

[BobbyJet]

From my limited experience with ESPN+ it leaves a lot to be desired. Center ice is far superior.

 

[ray c]

i have never seen so many commercials in a game,as i saw last night on espn+.
they must have a special arrangement with the nhl to show them

I would have done it begrudgingly but I found a way to illegally stream so screw them.

 

[WarriorofTime]

$300 per year, geesh

 

[GIADF]

Quick google says....

Center Ice is $70 a year.
MLB single team is $120 a year.
NBA is $17 a month for their package.

Hilarious pricing.

 

[ChiHawks10]

So it would essentially cost me $160 to watch each Hawks season on their app. Or...... I continue to use my VPN that was $60 for the entire year, have its usefulness for other things besides the Hawks, and use ESPN+ that I already carry for the little guy for Disney+.

Yeah, don't think I'll be using the app.

They've already destroyed their own business model. People have found alternatives and they are all cheaper. Typical Reinsdorf incompetence.

That app is also going to be a steaming pile of shit.
