  • 2013 NSLNC FIRST ROUND: Line Change Since Television and Sports
    2013 NSLNC FIRST ROUND: Line Change GENERAL FACTS FOR BOTH TEAMS Since television and sports collided in the 1950’s, the value of professional sports franchises, advertising revenue, and player salaries have continued to skyrocket. In the last 20 years, many teams, leagues, and collegiate conferences have decided to start their own networks to capitalize off the money generated from advertising dollars. Other sports entities have instead sold the rights to the broadcast of games to the highest bidder. Chicago is the third largest television region in the United States and has numerous networks that cover sports. WGN, Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and Comcast SportsNet Chicago, are among the local station affiliates televising the Blackhawks, Cubs, White Sox, Bears, and Bulls. The Parties WGN WGN television is owned by the Tribune Company, which owns Chicago’s largest newspaper, the Times-Tribune, and received the WGN call letters from the Tribune’s slogan, “World’s Greatest Newspaper.” The local WGN network began over-the-air broadcasting in 1948, and moved to cable television in 1978, rebranding itself as “the Superstation.” WGN is available through most cable and satellite providers, including DirecTV and Dish Network, but remains unavailable on Comcast, RCN, WOW!, and AT&T U-verse in the Chicagoland area. Following the 2013-2014 NHL season, the Blackhawks television contract with both WGN and Comcast SportsNet are set to expire. Blackhawks officials are currently negotiating the broadcasting rights with interested parties. Under the expiring WGN deal signed in 2008, WGN had the right to televise 50 regular season games during the course of the deal that are not being televised nationally on either NBC or the NBC Sports Network.

This ‘stadium framework’ has positioned sports within the structures of power and politics – recovering alliances between owners and civic officials, mapping facilities’ footprints in a changing urban landscape, and tracing their often-deleterious effects on the kaleidoscopic communities around them. Crucially, and especially for scholars of the contemporary era, it has also granted access to a rich catalogue of sources. Exemplary of such work is Bruce Kuklick’s graceful account of Philadelphia’s Shibe Park, as much a ‘story of urban America’ as one of baseball.1 A flush of recent books have offered similar perspectives, including Sean Dinces’ Bulls Markets, which focuses on the United Center, a multipurpose arena that opened in 1994 on the western flank of Chicago’s downtown.
