Fubo adds Chicago Sports Net to streaming lineup

FuboTV has agreed to add the Chicago Sports Network to its streaming lineup. This comes as many other Chicago-area viewers, including Comcast subscribers, “remain unable to tune in” since the new RSN hit the airwaves Oct. 1. Fubo will include CHSN for subscribers in the Chicago market “as part of its base Pro plan,” which costs $79.99 per month, with a “$20 discount off the first month.” CHSN struck deals with pay-TV providers DirecTV and Astound to carry the new network at launch. It also reached agreements with TV stations in Chicago, Rockford, South Bend and Indianapolis to “broadcast the sports programming for free over the air.” According to Nielsen, about 15% of the 3.46 million homes in the Chicago market "watch TV using an antenna," although some viewers have had "trouble capturing the CHSN signal." Fubo projects more than 1.7 million paid subscribers and nearly $1.6B in revenue this year for North America (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 10/25).
