[TV orNotTV] NotTV: Cubs to WBBM

2014-06-04 Thread Joe Hass
After 90 years on WGN, the Cubs took a dump truck of money to head to WBBM (who already has the Bears) for seven years. WSCR (a fellow CBS station) has the Sox for one more year (and may take the Cubs if the Sox leave). WGN still has the Blackhawks and WMVP has the Bulls.

Which pretty much sets up WGN-TV losing the Cubs, as well. However, I have the feeling that the Ricketts will be holding up Comcast (the dominant cable player in Chicago) for their own channel, like YES for the Yankees and TWC SportsNet in LA for the Dodgers (although I can see Fox going after

With all of the hubbub over the real-life soap opera surrounding Casey Kasem's family, his long time business partner Tom Rounds died Sunday--he and Kasem, along with producer Don Bustany, created American Top 40 in 1970 and saw it grow from a handful of stations to 500 stations worldwide by

I particularly like to see Roman numerals used in TV and film production credits. In particular, the BBC sticks resolutely to using them. There was something lovely about programmes in 2000 just having (c) BBC MM at the end of them. Is there another sport, aside from the NFL, that uses Roman
