In Chicago, Comcast offers FS1 on all of their 100+ channel packages--ESPN,
NBCSN and NBCSN Chicago  are not on the lowest-priced "Economy" tier and
FS1 is the only sports channel on that tier.  However, I've been noticing
that stores and bars I've walked that are showing the World Cup have on
Telemundo's coverage of the Cup games that are on FS1, probably because
it's easier to remember channel 44 (Chicago TEL station WSNS--Comcast has
WSNS on channel 4) than a three-digit number (Comcast's FS1 channel number
is 408--Wiki says on DirecTV it's 209).
