[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1451515, member: 26283"] The plan is for it to be on regular cable packages the same way ESPN, BTN and Comcast SportsNet is. The questions, as we all remember from the BTN roll out, are what cable companies pick them up and how much does it add to cable bills. I’m reasonably confident it will get added to pretty much every local cable distributor in the Cubs MLB market. Sounds like the Cubs are getting a rights fee and then a split of sales and distribution. No hard numbers yet, but if I had to guess, they’re not getting as much up front as the Dodgers did, but will be getting a larger chunk of profits going forward. [/QUOTE]
