The Cubs and White Sox announced their 2012 National broadcast schedules on Tuesday.
↵White Sox
↵The Sox will be on the first ESPN Sunday Night telecast this season on April 8th against the Texas Rangers. The Sox will also be on Fox at least two times, once against Milwaukee on June 23rd at US Cellular Field and in Detroit on May 5th.
↵Cubs
↵The Cubs will be on Fox at least nine times including games against the Cardinals and the Red Sox. The Sunday Red Sox game will also likely be the ESPN Sunday Night Game of the week. I'd like to set the over/under for times Theo is shown or mentioned in the series against Boston at 78.5.
↵Crosstown Classic
↵The series at Wrigley Field on May 18th-20th will be on CSN the 18th, Fox on the 19th and WGN on the 20th. When the two teams face off at US Cellular Field in June, CSN will air the 18th and 20th, while WGN will show the game on the 19th.
