South Bend Cubs and Weigel Broadcasting Co Renew Television Deal for 2018 Season

SOUTH BEND, IN -The South Bend Cubs have renewed their partnership with Weigel Broadcasting Co. and will broadcast 31 regular season home games on WMYS, My Michiana.

"In the new age of baseball, having many different ways for our fans to tune in and watch or listen to our team is vital," said South Bend Cubs President Joe Hart. "It is very rare for a Single-A baseball team to have almost half of their home games seen on broadcast television. We are incredibly thankful to Aaron Ramey and the entire Weigel Broadcasting staff for their partnership and continued coverage of our club."
"We are thrilled to announce another great season of baseball on WMYS, My Michiana, said Aaron Ramey, General Manager of WBND/ABC 57, WCWW/CW 25 and WMYS/My Michiana. "Airing more than 30 South Bend Cubs games is a complement to a summer-long line up of local sports programming. My Michiana will air 70 Chicago Cubs games and nearly 60 Chicago White Sox games. The best place to watch baseball is in a stadium. The next best place is My Michiana."
WMYS, My Michiana, sister station to ABC 57, broadcasts over-the-air on channel 69.1 and can be found on Xfinity 15/194HD, U-Verse 69/1069HD, Mediacom 17/717HD, Rochester Telephone Cable 53/353HD as well as Dish 69.
