i probably wont get to see it because its not on WGN America, but maybe dish network will have it somewhere.

I expect to see noah spaz out like its the playoffs again, and i think derrik and thomas are playing. go bulls for another win, i still wish our opponents coach was our coach.

I think I might need to hop on this preseason championship train.

I wish WGN would distinguish itself. The Bulls' preseason game that'll be on Saturday night at 7:30p will be available ONLY on CW9 locally vs. the Bucks in Green Bay of all places. The remaining 5 Bulls' preseason games will be played on either Comcast SportsNet or CSN Plus, which is DIRECTV 666 or CLTV if you have cable, starting with the rematch vs. Milwaukee Tuesday at United Center at7p. The first "2 WGN" game as I like to call it airs Saturday, November 7th vs. the Charlotte Bobcats on the West side, which you'll find Channel 9 & WGN America, DIRECTV 307 across the country. Remember, Bulls fans...All nighttime home games tip off this year at 7p.

i miss at least a dozen games every season even though i have dish network's mid-level hd package with the sports addon.

seeing how the NBA league pass is about $200 a year, i dont see why they cant do something like $50 a year for one team. but i agree, if WGN would just nationally televise its bulls games then i would only miss the few that are on WCIU throughout the year.

IkeSouth, there's a reason why WCIU 26 The U carries a handful of Bulls' basketball games during the regular season. Although WGN produces the games, Channel 9 locally has this network arrangement during the week with the CW Television Network, which I believe Tribune Broadcasting has a small stake in. Much like the former WB Network, the CW doesn't like it when their shows are pre-empted locally by Bulls, White Sox & Cubs' games and WGN feels they need a secondary outlet to broadcast these games. That's why U'z got games, and their first game is November 11th at Toronto, eh?

Also, keep in mind there was a much-publicized lawsuit in the '90s in which WGN, the Bulls & the NBA were in a court of law. The NBA didn't want "Superstations" like WGN America carrying the Bulls because they felt they'd cut into the other team's broadcasts. The two sides compromised, and 15 Bulls' games are available nationally with the other 15 locally.

when i had the nba channel they showed quite a few bulls games. its too bad that doesnt come standard with satellite like the nfl/nhl/mlb channels do. i dont know why they make it a premium pay channel. its not worth it to get a sports package when all the games are blacked out on csn here

NBA TV did carry quite a few Bulls' games last season, Jason. It doesn't seem fair that DIRECTV customers like me can watch NFL Network, MLB Network, NHL Network & even Big Ten Network 24/7 and that you've got to order "NBA League Pass" to get the channel which is now part of Turner Broadcasting and now found on DIRECTV 216 I believe.
