[1][2] The Cubs departed the network after 2019, forming Marquee with Sinclair Broadcast Group as the exclusive broadcaster of all regional Cubs games;[3][4] that same year, NBC Sports Chicago signed a five-year extension with the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox, making it the exclusive home of all three teams through the end of the 2023–24 season.

[8] Stadium is owned by the White Sox's investment arm Silver Chalice and had previously been a joint venture with Sinclair until they sold their stake in 2023.

[11] On June 3, 2024, the three teams and Standard Media officially announced Chicago Sports Network, led by former Stadium CEO Jason Coyle.

[18][19] On September 12, 2024, it was reported that the network was nearing its first carriage agreement with DirecTV that would have it taking over the channel positions formerly occupied by NBC Sports Chicago.

[33] Because the network's coverage area over-the-air outside the Chicago market conflicts with the rights to other teams, it is likely that alternate blackout programming will be transmitted to those stations.

For the same reason, no game coverage airs in West Michigan due to the presence of Detroit's own teams, including the Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings.

Mark Lazerus, the Blackhawks beat writer for The Athletic, claimed that CHSN's over-the-air signal in Chicago sometimes leaves much to be desired.

Lazerus wrote that watching CHSN via channel 62 over-the-air requires an antenna aimed at Willis Tower, and even then the picture quality can be "glitchier than scrambled late-night cable was in the 1980s."
