So much for him being the face of the new Cubs network . He’s all yours next year White Sox nation .

Despite widespread rumors that he might be jumping to a new sports network being formed by the Chicago Cubs and Sinclair Broadcast Group, veteran sportscaster and franchise player David Kaplan is sticking with NBC Sports Chicago.

In signing a multiyear renewal with NBC Sports Chicago, Kaplan will continue as the premier personality on the cable and digital television home of the Chicago White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks. His new deal, via agent Steve Mandell, was announced Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed.

In addition to hosting the weeknight “SportsTalk Live” (which he has fronted since 2008) — as well as Cubs pregame and postgame shows for the remainder of this season — Kaplan will expand his duties with NBC Sports Chicago in the fall to include creating “fan-focused content” over a variety of platforms.

“I’ve been exceptionally blessed to work at an amazing place with an extremely talented staff in the greatest sports city in the world,” he said. “I was taught a long time ago from my late father: ‘Don’t run from happiness.’ I’m thrilled to be a part of the NBC Sports family for a long time to come.”

Kevin Cross, senior vice president and general manager of NBC Sports Chicago, said in a statement: “Kap is a dominant figure in the Chicago sports media landscape, and we’re delighted that Kap will remain with NBC Sports Chicago. His knowledge and passion of the Chicago sports scene, not to mention his deep connection with the fans of this city, is second to none.”

A native of north suburban Skokie and graduate of Niles East High School and Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, Kaplan has been a prominent figure in Chicago sports media for decades, including a long run on Tribune Broadcasting news/talk WGN 720-AM.

He continues on ESPN Radio sports/talk WMVP 1000-AM, where “Kap & Company” airs from 9 a.m. to noon weekdays.

Earlier this year the Cubs announced formation of Marquee Sports Network in partnership with Sinclair Broadcast Group, to be launched in February 2020.

I don't get why he so loved by Chicago media execs. There is not one sports fan in Chicago that likes him.

On top of it, he's an idiot with sports thoughts. Pretty much a dumb ass in general. And he's not even good looking which is a big factor for TV.

Just must be good friends with the bosses at NBCS and ESPN 1000. Seems like an ass kisser as well. Which execs love.

Kap is an ass kissing, opinion flipping, boot licking, jock sniffer. That said, he's still one of the best sports media guys in Chicago.

don't forget #FatherOfTheYear. Seriously some sap did something pedestrian like give his kid a kidney or a liver so they could keep on living and then they think they're entitled to be mentioned in the same breath as #FOTY Kaplan who undoubtedly did things like 1) get his kids backstage at sports/media events and the big one = 2) set his kids up.for LIFE by being able to say that their dad is David Fucking Kaplan!!!

The point is, as always, he's David Kaplan and you're not. And his wife Fucking LOVES IT. Thanks for watching/listening, cupcake!

Usually dystopian political climates yield great art. Look how much great music came out of the Thatcher/Reagan years. We got a ton of good stuff out of the Bush years, too. But all we can wring out of the Trump administration is a soundcloud kid rapping about a horse.
