2007_10_22.blackhawk.gifWhen Bill Wirtz died a few weeks ago, one of the first things on everyone's mind seemed to be does this mean Blackhawks home games will be on TV? It's starting to look that way. According to a memo Rocky Wirtz wrote to the Blackhawks staff, he's in talks with Comcast SportsNet to start broadcasting the games.

The memo says that "no definitive agreements have been reached," but that the Blackhawks and CSN are "working on a long-term strategy for televising additional home games," but they want to start as soon as this season. The future is now, sportsfans!
