Also, each team has long-term agreements with specific channels to carry a specific amount of games and telecast schedules are negotiated during preseason. Comcast SportsNet Chicago's Cubs and White Sox telecasts are available on the "MLB Extra Innings" package on digital cable and DIRECTV. Also, TV and radio broadcasts are available at www.MLB.tv
