Will be re-branded NBC Sports Chicago on October 2nd.

San Francisco did this a few months ago. I'm guessing the rest of the network will make the change, too. Or maybe Philadelphia will hang on to Comcast for sentimental purposes.

Elsewhere, the Root Sports channels (the old FSNs in Seattle, Denver, and Pittsburgh) have become AT&T Sports.

Did the content change at all? Hosts fired, etc?

Ran into Jauss at Ohare many years ago. We were both trying to catch a morning flight out. He may be the most stereotypically disheveled reporter type I ever saw in person.

AT&T is indeed buying Time Warner (which is terrible news), so they're trying to brand themselves as a content creator.

No, what happened was that DirecTV owned those RSNs but branded them as Fox Sports, but they must have lost that licensing agreement or something, so they created "Root Sports" as the new brand. Then AT&T bought DirecTV, so they rebranded Root, and now they're buying Time Warner, too.

HEY REMEMBER WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAID AT&T WAS TOO BIG TO DO BUSINESS AND NEEDED TO BE BROKEN UP INTO SMALLER COMPANIES WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT

That means this will need to be updated?
