No More Cubs on WGN

That is going to seem strange next year not to see the Cubs on either WGN Radio or TV.  I think old Jack Brickhouse would be turning over in his grave at this one.  No more "Hey, Hey, Hey!!"  And that goes for Harry Carey and "It Might be, it Could Be, It Is!  Home Run!!"

In 2015, Cub games move to CBS radio stations, including WBBM-AM (780).  The Cubs have also opted out of their WGN TV contract, looking to hit the jack-pot with regional TV broadcasts.

The Cubs pushed it, but WGN didn't fight it as they had been losing money on the Cubs for years as the team puts really inferior product on the field.

But, to me, it just isn't going to be the same.

Cubs, No WGN, What Next?  The Sox Start Pulling in the Fans?  --Cooter
