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 the Cubs to place on their MyNet station WPWR).
And Chicago sports, like WGN's local newscasts, seem to be coming to an end on WGN America, as the Trib seems to want it to become a big cable playa for original programming--and I'm sure they're convinced that the playa hatas who want the Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Tom Skilling over sitcom reruns and "Salem" are all 55+.
