CHSN regional territory and potential app
Now at the time of writing this I can’t find any mention of a streaming app on CHSNs website or recent articles, but I know for a fact I saw it announced somewhere that it would come at launch—I just can’t remember what site.
We are 13 days away from the launch of this new network, this will be the final post clearing up some concerns about CHSN.
Firstly, the broadcast territory will NOT change. I actually found this last picture from a new video on CHSNs YouTube channel where they quietly showed the territory they’ll be broadcasting in, and it’s literally the same as NBC Sports Chicago. If you could watch before from where you are, you still can now.
It actually looks like our territory has expanded, as NBC Sports only had Northwest Indiana according to wiki, and this map seems to indicate that all of Indiana will have access to it. Huge if true!
Now for the app, which I can’t find in recent articles but I know I did see it mentioned somewhere. I know there are concerns for those who live in a OTA deadzone, or just don’t want to get an antenna.
This is just me assuming since this is an over the air channel, but Victory+, the new streaming service for the Ducks and Stars, are showing their games completely for free over the app if you live in the Ducks home region or Stars home region, which I showed in the first two pics.
Assuming CHSN has an app, and I’d be shocked if they don’t, it should work the same way and you can watch without an antenna and no need for YouTube TV, whether you’re from Ottawa, IL or Ames, IA.
Overall, I want people to understand that this is a GOOD thing. Being able to watch your teams for free is a GOOD thing. I hope people understand this all at least a little better now after all these posts, I wish CHSN was a little more transparent, but that’s why I’m here.
Note: I do NOT work for CHSN or have any insider knowledge. I’m just a huge nerd when it comes to things like this and I know how they work, so I want to help my fellow Chicago sports fans before the season starts.
(Also sorry for all the posts about this, completely understand if it gets taken down)

But if the app is not ready by the start of the season & antennas aren’t working, we’re pretty much fucked
I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt that the app will be free to subscribe to. If it is, then CHSN has zero leverage for providers to have it on their service. Jerry is not known for leaving money on the table. We should know something in the next few days as the network is launching in less than two weeks.
really excited for this but it almost seems too good to be true
