So, today is the last day before Spring Break which, for us, starts tomorrow. Besides a district hosted lunch, they have activities scheduled. One of the activities is to get the Cubs home opener onto the screen in Cafe I. Thought that assignment would be routine.

It is not. I checked and, according to my U verse guide, it is not on any of the network channels, and it is not on any of the ESPN channels including ESPN 3. So, finally, my question: Who is televising the Cubs home opener? Someone has to be doing it!

All non-national Cubs games are now on [Marquee Sports Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquee_Sports_Network)

The Cubs started their own cable sports channel last year – that’s what Marquee is. They had to do some wrangling to get it carried by local cable providers, but I know that it’s on Comcast in the Chicago area; I’m not sure about AT&T/U-verse.
