With the Bulls and Blackhawks seasons in full swing and Comcast carriage negotiations stalled, the Chicago Sports Network is moving forward this week with its direct-to-consumer streaming service, bypassing the pay-TV middleman to reach blacked-out viewers.

Chicago Sports Network announced it will launch its direct-to-consumer service Friday, offering fans the chance to stream Blackhawks, Bulls and White Sox games via its app or any web browser. Fans can purchase a package for one team for $19.

The Chicago Sports Network says it will debut a standalone streaming service that costs $20-$30 per month for access to live games. This article, Chicago Sports Network to launch streaming service, was first published at The Desk.
