The Chicago Cubs' new television network, called Marquee, has struck a last minute agreement with Chicagoland's largest cable provider, Comcast, to air their games.

The deal allows fans in the Chicago market to watch the Cubs as soon as Friday night when they begin the season against the Milwaukee Brewers.

"It was a complicated negotiation," Crane Kenney, President of Business Operations for the Cubs said. "Usually there needs to be a catalyst...I said in January, it was likely either going to be the beginning of spring training or the beginning of the regular season as the catalyst to get something done."
