White Sox debut on Chicago Sports Network but will fans tune in?
Briefly

The outlook for the White Sox this year remains bleak after trading their star pitcher and failing to bolster their roster with key free-agent acquisitions. Compounding these challenges is the recent launch of their new broadcasting network, CHSN, which has struggled to secure a carriage deal with Comcast, limiting audience reach. Polls indicate low viewership levels, impacted by the lackluster performance of both the Sox and local teams like the Bulls and Blackhawks. While CHSN offers streaming options and free access to antenna users, the network still has significant hurdles to overcome to engage fans.
The Sox traded away their star pitcher and have only added journeymen, worsening their season outlook.
CHSN launched to replace NBC Sports Chicago, yet it struggles to secure a carriage deal, limiting viewer access.
