After months of speculation, the Cubs officially announced the launch of their own regional sports network Marquee, in partnership with Sinclair Broadcast Group, on Wednesday morning.
“We are excited to better serve our fans with expanded and exclusive programming showcasing our remarkable players, beloved ballpark and storied past,” said Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney. “Our dedicated ‘Cubs-centric’ network will carry all available Cubs games and feature uncompromising, in-depth and behind-the-scenes coverage.”
The Marquee Sports Network will begin broadcasting games in 2020 after the 2019 season, which will be broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago, WGN, and ABC-7. The Cubs also announced broadcasters Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies will continue to man the both for games, while also taking on pregame and postgame coverage.
