Freeman has a home run in six straight World Series games? That's honestly just insane.

If you want to watch the teams on Fubo, it's going to cost you $95 a month. $80 a month, plus a $15 regional sports fee (FUCKING LOL). If you want to watch all three teams on the yet to be released piece of s%*# CHSN app, it will cost you $30 a month. Otherwise, it's $20 per team. They've already priced themselves out of the existing options. The ONLY way that $30 a month is a good option, is if you want to watch all three teams, and don't already have existing streaming/cable packages. ESPN+ package is $15 a month, plus a few bucks for a VPN. Watch your Blackhawks hockey. Cheaper. MLB single team is $120 a year. Cheaper. NBA is $17 a month. Cheaper. If you have an antenna that works, it's free... Personally, the only team I give a s%*# about at this point, is the Blackhawks. So, they will get $0 of my money. 🤣

That's the thing. They haven't increased access to games. As of now, there are tons of people not able to watch.

The guy is a fucking imbecile. He is where he is because of connections and nepotism. Absolutely clueless.

To summarize: "Making money hand over fist used to be incredibly easy, because we worked with cable providers to steal money from their customers. The climate has changed, and people aren't willing to give us free money anymore. I find myself struggling to figure out how to make money when it's not just handed to me." Imagine using the word "fear" because your greedy billionaire ass doesn't know how to make your billion dollar franchise steal money from customers anymore. f*** this entitled prick.

Anyone falling for this bullshit is a moron. Just so happens it's coming from Stewart, who is good buddies with TLR, who still works for the White Sox? Reinsdorf is such a transparent loser. Build your own stadium you cheap piece of s%*#. Or just die and make all Sox fans happy.

Except I already have all of those channels, and don't need an antenna to watch them. So no, I won't spend $50 on an antenna for a single channel because the people running that channel are imbeciles.

They have known this forever. It doesn't matter at all to the fans. Their lack of preparation and competence is why they are where they are today. I can't wait to see if they come out with their own app for this, given the incompetence they have displayed in every other technical aspect.

Blows my mind that people are defending this unprofessional shitshow. Everything about this is substandard. The launch. The quality. The decisions surrounding the broadcast. The studio. The audio quality. Everything. It's a Jerry Reinsdorf owned clusterfuck, to a T.

Sounds to me like they're broadcasting in fucking mono audio. Lol.

Why should anyone but Reinsdorf fund a new stadium, for a team that is an embarrassment to the sport?

What. The. f***. Why didn't they just take @CHSN?????

College teams have more professional broadcasts. Lol

...what? lol Where did I say anything about tube/SD TV?

That's the problem, though. There are a whole shitload of people who bought antennas and tried to watch OTA, and could not. People in the city, people in near suburbs, etc. People who SHOULD be able to get the game, but cannot. Because for the 100th time, radio broadcast signals aren't reliable in 2024. The availability is garbage because of the station they have broadcasting for them in the Chicago area, and the geography of the Chicagoland area. Not to mention, people with older televisions are completely SOL because of the video format they are broadcasting... even if they can get a signal. I really don't care, because I'm technically savvy, and will just watch sports on the internet, with a VPN. But this launch is an unmitigated disaster for most people.

Actually, the OTA issues with this channel seem to be specific to the morons running it. Which is why a lot of people can get all the other channels, and not these. They went with a bottom of the barrel broadcaster for the broadcast out of Chicago. WJYS sucks and according to an insider, could barely pay their bills. Which is why their station has had nothing but trash, and has nothing but trash aside from CHSN. They broadcast TEN channels on a single signal and nobody else is doing that. This is why you have people who are in the Chicago area....getting a better signal from the South Bend broadcast. There are actually people in Michigan who are getting the broadcast from South Bend, when people in Chicago are not. WNDU is a much better broadcast station, and it shows. Again....clownshoes operations.

Except that's just not how it works. Again....there are people who just cannot get a usable OTA signal where they live. Column: Are the Blackhawks, Bulls, White Sox antenna-worthy? (chicagotribune.com) Here's someone who works in the industry and actually has connections that COULD do exactly what you just suggested, and he was SOL.

Where is the personal attack in my post? Sarcastically saying "genius"? lol

You do realize that it has nothing to do with "figuring out how to use an antenna", right? That there are places where you just can't get a good OTA signal, even though you should be able to? That's the funny thing about radio waves. They don't pass through things very well. Sources of Obstructions and Interference for Antenna TV – Tablo (tablotv.com) Valleys, trees, large buildings, what they built your house out of. Sources of interference? Power lines, Cell towers, LED lightbulbs(LMAO), Rain, Snow, Sleet, Fog, Clouds. You know what else causes OTA interference? LTE and 5G cell signals. Yeah, that's right. Your cell phone. Here's some more for you. Washers, Dryers, Garage Door Openers. Would you like some more? Sure. Industrial parks, shopping malls, big department and grocery stores. THERE'S A REASON TELEVISION MOVED AWAY FROM OTA. It. Isn't. Reliable. In the year of our lord 2024, there are quite literally a million things that could be interfering or obstructing your OTA signal. This isn't user error. It's fucking SCIENCE. OTA signals work via....line of sight. Holy s%*#.

Blackhawks fans are going to be the best source right now. Of the active posters on the fan forum I'm on, there's not a single person who isn't having issues with OTA.

The number of people I have talked to that can't get a stable signal, even with a good indoor antenna, far, far, far outnumbers those who are having no issues. How many Reinsdorf water carriers in here have actually TRIED watching these channels? There are people living in the South Loop in sight of Willis Tower that can't get a signal. Lol It's an unmitigated disaster and anyone defending it is a fucking imbecile.

Narrator: "They can't."

Yeah, I mean, guys weren't hitting 60-70 HRs when jacked taking steroids or anything.

Hire my own coaches and trainers and ignore everything the White Sox tell me.

He needs to hit the weights and bulk up. He's already slow and can't get much slower. He's already a s%*# defender and can't get much shittier. At the very least, he needs to hit home runs. Otherwise he's useless.
