Chicago News and Sports Events Culture

Chicago is one of the best sports cities in the world, hosting major sporting events that draw a crowd and contribute to the city’s economy. With almost three million residents, there is always something to do in this multifaceted city. Known as the “sports capital of the world,” the city has become a hub of amateur and professional sports. The Bears, Cubs, and other sports teams play in the Windy City, and there are plenty of volunteer opportunities in the sports industry.

Chicago’s sports fan base is fiercely loyal, as evidenced by three recent “Best Sports City” awards from Sporting News. Though the Chicago Bears recently faltered in their quest to win the Super Bowl, the Bulls and White Sox have long reigned supreme in both basketball and football. In hockey, the Blackhawks have won two Stanley Cups in the last few years.

WGN-TV, a local TV station, offers sports news, weather, and more. WGN-TV, a member-supported, independent Chicago television station, also offers ESPN+ for only $6 per month. WGN-TV also features a job board. While you’re checking out local sports, check out the station’s live stream of sports events, newscasts, and local sports events.

In addition to news and sports, Chicago’s television station WGN-TV features a political program called Political Report. The show airs on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. CT, and is available on WGN-TV+, which is available on most smart TV platforms.
