southsider2k5 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) Again, the Phillies got 5 billion to stay on CSN. The sox will be fine, especially since the Cubs are all but gone. Look at the details there. #1, half of that is their ownership share of the network. So they really aren't getting $200m a year, they are getting $100m in broadcast fees. Seeing as the White Sox already have their share of the network that isn't happening, and with the impending exit of the Cubs, the CSN network is about to be worth a whole lot less. #2, speaking of the Cubs, Philly owns the entire city for baseball, the White Sox don't. Even in the middle of rebuilding the Phillies pulled a 3% share of televsion's in their market, while the White Sox pulled a league worst 0.79.

Dick Allen Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This TV contract is still 3 years away. There are going to be more issues at play. Maybe some that could mean a lot less money, maybe some that could mean a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
