CentralChamps21 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/uh-oh-jerry-reinsdorf-is-making-moves-fans-may-not-like/ Quote Chicago Bulls and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf has taken majority control of Stadium after buying out Sinclair Broadcasting. The broadcasting deal with NBC Sports Chicago for the White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks expires in 2024. Jerry could start his own network. Sounds like we're getting a direct-to-consumer digital platform beginning in 2025. I wonder if this might impact the decision on whether or not to sell at the deadline knowing that they have to start "earning" subscribers.

Dick Allen Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 How can he afford it? I thought he was close to broke? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Stadium is over the air antenna tv in Chicago so that'd be awesome. Too good to be true though. Sox and Bulls own 50% of NBCSN. It's not going anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Announcing the #1 draft pick on his own network. The man has been playing chess and the rest of us checkers. Brilliant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry will probably scramble the signal and you'll have to attach a separate box to your TV to unscramble it. That way he can make money selling all those old Sportsvision/ONTV boxes Einhorn left him in his will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you also get the Playboy Channel if you slide a playing card into the box? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 RIP Jerry far more popular in 2023. Also far more relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 This is Jerry just "trying to keep up with the Joneses." He thinks he can be like the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox and Cubs to name a few. However just like he fails at running the his two sports teams...he will somehow fail at the network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Poor Jerry has deficient PR skills with the fans. They do not appreciate all he has done. Maybe put Ken Williams in charge of PR other than saying stay out of White Sox business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Awesome. All the $$ he earns from his own tv network can be allocated to putting a better product out on the field. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
