It needed to be up and running this weekend for the convention.
This is a colossal fuck up of a network already. I will enjoy hating the hell out of this abomination all summer.

I think the season ticket sales are in trouble too. My place in line barely budged in six years, and most recently was around 40,000. Yet they’ve been calling and emailing recently saying I can buy tickets.

Yeah same here. Was hoping for season tickets at 55 not 45....


Marquee will be fine if it brings more money for the team. Their legacy deals sucked money wise.

They won't do something stupid like dumping a popular play by play man and putting games on pay tv when the competition was on free tv.

Yup. Catching lightning in a bottle and beating a historically week NL cost them their identity.

Also, they have a sideline bunny who is on the thick side. Good in a girlfriend or wife, bad in TV eye candy between batters.

Then what is the Cubs identity right now? They are no longer an elite team. Their historic stadium has been redone and isn't all that special anymore. They have MANY players with terrible, untradeable contracts. They don't have a very good starting rotation. They have a completely unproven wild card at manager.

And when they won, they were no longer The Lovable losers.

Especially if they trot out a losing team, why pay to see the team when they suck. They have unintentionally put a ton of pressure on themselves to be competitive every year. You would also think they would have gone hyper local with a bunch of local homer type people instead of going with former players/managers and outsiders that don't have an understanding of the fandom. They appear to want to make baseball coverage even more clinical and boring, not sure if that fits what the typical casual Cub fans wants.

Their identity is as a team that can compete.
I'm 100% positive that their fans and the players and ownership is fine with the loss of their loveable loser identity.
Troll better.

A team that can compete, but wont.

Just like the Rays.

I think you're right that Marquee will be fine. The vast majority of the Cubs fans that are hating on it right now are eventually going to become regular viewers, and the Cubs know it.

The biggest cable provider in the market isn't carrying their channel. They won't be fine until it does.

Don't you think they're going to figure that out sooner than later? It's in everybody's best interest that they do.

Wirtz hid the product from the fans. The Cubs are just trying to monetize it.

Wrigley is still a special stadium. The remodel has been a net positive

Broadcasting genius.White Sox are off WGN. A majority of teams in MLB are off over the air channels.

Don't worry, the Marquee Network and all Cub's related content will be re-broadcast in Frank's head.

The problem with Marquee getting their asking price is that there is absolutely no buzz about the Cubs this winter and there is growing resentment from the hardcore fan over the lack of action this offseason. Marquee is either going to have to lower their asking price or allow the channel to be put on a higher tier and/or sports package. Look no further than the Altitude Network in Denver that air both the Nuggets and Avalanche. Comcast has not agreed with that channel and there looks to be no traction in the negotiations. Now I don’t know what kind of pressure Sinclair can apply so that is a wildcard there but I am pulling for Comcast on this one. Fuck Marquee and the Cubs!
