The Cubs are going to launch their new TV Network in 2020, and to give fans an idea of what kind of content they’ll see on Marquee, Crane Kenney said on Thursday that the team is starting a YouTube channel on Monday.
On Friday afternoon, the Cubs gave fans a preview of what the YouTube channel will show, which is a precursor to the new network in 2020, and it looks amazing.
The Cubs' new cable network isn't starting until 2020, but they are testing the waters with a new YouTube channel. There won't be live games but there will be highlights and long-form programming. https://t.co/FJaSVmozxl
