WGN has been offering Cubs, Sox, Bulls games in HD in the Chicago Market since 2004, the Superstation WGN will start broadcasting the same this year.
Still waiting for D* to offer WGN HD.

All Cubs/Sox games in HD starting this year
Saw in the Chicago OTA thread that WGN is doing all home and away Cubs/Sox games in HD this year

So, I emailed Comcast Sports Net to see if they would be following suit. They will be. Big news for Chicago sports fans

Thanks for contacting us. Comcast SportsNet will also be airing road
Cubs/Sox games in HD beginning this season as well.

They've been offering home games since '04, no away games. This includes away games.

I'll update the HDTV RSN list in Programming, thanks for the info
Hope DirecTV adds WGN HD before the start of the season! Can't wait to watch the Cubbies in HD!
This is fantastic!!!!! Road games in HD is huge (I was prepared for a season of frustration with Cubs road games available in HD through EI on D* but the feed blacked out).
Now if FOX just gets its act together for the week-end network feeds I can pretty much never have to watch SD baseball again.

As Bill Veeck once said, "As long as people keep calling them the "Cubbies", they're never going to win anything".

This is the best news any Chicago baseball fan can hear. No more crappy analog tv for road games. I cannot wait for baseball to start.
Isn't FOX always in HD? Or at least I've never seen a FOX game not in HD.

I think last year FOX only did 1 game/wk in HD. The rest were in widescreen SD.

This makes for the 4th and 5th teams to have all of their games covered in HD by their RSN/local stations if I am remembering correctly.
There is also a strong inclination that all Mets games will be in HD on SNY this upcoming season. No official word yet.

Who cares about the Mets. This is Chicago.
What about WICU's road games?
One could assume that since they probably get a feed from the same production facility that does games for WGN and Comcast that they'll simply take the road feed in HD like they do for the home feed now. So I'd guess yes.

You can bet I'm pumped about this news! Now I may have to buy an extra HDTV.
They were the third team I included along with the Yankees and Red Sox.
