The Chicago Sports Network, which launched Tuesday as the new TV home of the White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks, has signed up two more over-the-air stations and a new pay-TV partner to broadcast its 24/7 programming. Gray Media television stations in Rockford and South Bend both flipped the switch to join the fledgling regional sports network ahead of its two-hour premiere show at 5 p.m.  Meanwhile, Astound confirmed Tuesday afternoon it has also reached an agreement to carry the Chicago Sports Network. “We’re committed to reaching our fans wherever they are, including areas outside of Chicago proper that may have not had the opportunity to watch games in the past,” said Jason Coyle, CHSN’s president, in a news release. A lot of fans in the Chicago area, however, will not have that opportunity on day one, with major distribution holes remaining for the new network. The Chicago Sports Network replaced the defunct NBC Sports Chicago overnight in the DirecTV channel lineup, reaching the pay-TV provider’s 300,000 subscribers in the Chicago area.
