    WGN radio has had the Cubs forever. The Cubs would get bids for the teams telecast in the past but WGN used their option and always matched them. In recent years, WGN wisely decided to pick up the Blackhawks radio call. All that WGN did, is not match a bid by another station for the Cubs and now will be all BlackHawks. Just like the front running homers they are and it prolly the best business decision. It's basically much of the same audience. As all the lifetime loser Cubs fans bought brand spanking new Blackhawks sweaters a few years back. Now instead of being lifetime Cubs fans, they are now lifetime Hawks fans. Still losers. They just don't go to Cubs games but Hawks games.
