Chicago Sports Network and Comcast Stalemate Leaves Fans in Limbo

Negotiations between Chicago Sports Network and Comcast remain stalled, affecting Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox broadcasts.

Chicago Sports Network president Jason Coyle claims Comcast has not responded to two significant offers, including a substantial fee reduction.
Comcast's objection centers on CHSN's free over-the-air broadcasts, which it believes undermine the value of a paid carriage deal.
CHSN has expanded its reach via digital antennas in several Midwest cities and is close to a deal with streaming service Fubo.
The lack of a Comcast deal has led to decreased local TV revenue and underwhelming ticket sales for the Blackhawks.
Fans are frustrated, with some struggling to access games through antennas and others hesitant to switch from Comcast.
