WGN No More?

[Kid]

Would it be feasible to come to a deal for the WGN games AND the post 2019 games this far in advance?

 

It would depend on the terms of the CSN contract.  It's at least possible that CSN has some exclusive negotiating period.

 

I assume, however, that if they cut a deal with Fox, it would include some post-2019 terms.  Otherwise, why is Fox going to pay a premium now when the Cubs could ostensibly go elsewhere after 2019?  That said, I'm skeptical that it makes sense to cut a deal for 6 years from now.  Content distribution is changing so rapidly, who knows what it will look like in 2020.
