The Cubs’ Marquee Sports Network won’t be seen on Hulu starting Friday. The streaming service announced Thursday that it was unable to reach a carriage agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group, which jointly owns Marquee with the Cubs, to show the network and Sinclair’s other regional sports networks on its Live TV plans.
Sinclair’s RSNs have been dropped by fuboTV, YouTube TV and Sling in the last year. The only streaming service that carries Marquee is AT&T TV Now.
The Marquee-Hulu relationship lasted about eight months, and it got off to a rocky start after it was announced Feb. 17. The network said at the time that Hulu + Live TV subscribers would have access to the Cubs’ first spring-training game Feb. 22, but Hulu said the day before the game that it wouldn’t carry Marquee until the regular season.
