The Blackhawks, Bulls and White Sox are leaving Comcast Sports Chicago at the end of September for their own, new, team(s)-owned network, Chicago Sports Network. The Blackhawks have also hired Rick Ball to replace Chris Vosters as their home play-by-play voice on the new network.
But… the new network won’t get to host all of the Blackhawks’ game in the coming season.
In fact, there are 15 Blackhawks games in the coming season slated to be televised across the US.
