DirecTV Stream to carry Chicago Sports Network at launch!

https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media/2024/09/18/chicago-sports-network-directv-announce-carriage-agreement

It's behind a paywall, but here's the basics:

Same channel location

Same footprint (region)

If you get NBC Sports Chicago, you'll get Chicago Sports Network.

September 30th, you get NBC Sports Chicago.

October 1, you get Chicago Sports Network.

Bet we are going to get a nice price increase in the near future with all these new channel additions.

This is a replacement. The cost of CHSN could be less than the cost of NBC Sports Chicago for all anyone here knows.

What I find interesting is how Dish probably won't have it, but since it's also available OTA with an antenna, I'm not sure it really matters. Since it's OTA and Dish obviously has OTA channels, might it be available in that block of channels?
