March 8, 1948 – WGN, channel 9 in Chicago, announced that it would televise White Sox games for the first time during the upcoming season. Veteran radio sports broadcasters Jack Brickhouse and Harry Creighton would become the first White Sox TV announcers in history. The first game they ever showed was an exhibition game against the Cubs from Wrigley Field on April 16 in freezing cold weather! The Sox would beat the Cubs 4-1. WGN carried White Sox televised games from 1948-1967, 1981 and 1990 through 2019.
