A new development surrounding the future broadcast home of the Chicago White Sox has come to light.
According to a report by The Athletic’s Scott Powers and Mark Lazerus, Standard Media Group will be creating the new television home for the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox beginning in October. The supposed switch-up from Stadium was revealed in an internal document obtained by The Athletic.
Standard Media Group, which is based out of Nashville, Tenn., is expected to establish the new network. Though currently unnamed, the network is expected to be available across multiple platforms, such as cable networks and streaming providers.
The new network will not be associated with Stadium, per The Athletic’s report. The multi-platform network, which Jerry Reinsdorf purchased majority control of in 2023, was previously believed to be the landing spot with the NBC Sports Chicago agreement nearing its end. In fact, the Chicago Sun-Times’ Jeff Agrest recently reported that the three teams were nearing a deal with Stadium. It’s unclear at this time what led to the last-minute change.
