Well, here it comes. The Cubs own network. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out. If it ends up being like the Yankees or the Dodgers, it's going to bring a BOATLOAD of cash to the organization.

I'm not terribly enthused. I think this move is a woeful mistake considering that in the next 10-15 years, cable subscriptions are going to die off. If Marquee wants to survive, they need to offer a non-blackout-impacted subscription-based streaming service. Otherwise it's destined to fail.
