CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Comcast Xfinity customers hoping to watch Bulls and Blackhawks games are still in media limbo.

Chicago Sports Network President Jason Coyle joined 670 The Score Monday to, in part, explain that his side is trying to work out a deal with the region’s largest pay TV provider.

“We have made two offers to them, substantive, both at significant discounts,” Coyle said. “We’ve received no offers back. There are reports that we have, and there’s something for us to sign. We have not received anything back  from them.

In the meantime, Xfinity customers can use an antenna to pick up the station, whose signal comes from the Willis Tower.

A stand alone subscription is in the works, but it’s not yet available.
