Working Lunch

Monday, October 28, 2024

It's lunchtime, Chicago.

It didn’t get done in time for the Bulls regular-season opener Wednesday, but FuboTV has agreed to add the Chicago Sports Network to its streaming lineup ahead of the team’s second game Friday night.

The eleventh-hour distribution deal, announced Friday afternoon, allowed Fubo to flip the switch and turn on the nascent sports network before the Bulls played the Bucks in Milwaukee, making the game available to its pay-TV subscribers in the Chicago market.

Meanwhile, Cook County officials and attendees gathered Friday to celebrate the launch of Pace Suburban Bus On Demand service in Lansing, Calumet City and South Holland. The launch of Lansing Area On Demand Oct. 7 marked the 11th zone for Pace’s pilot reservation-based program and the first time this service has been introduced in the south suburbs, officials said.
