SOUTH BEND, Indiana (June 3, 2015) - Team officials announced today that an agreement has been reached with CBS television affiliate WSBT-TV, to broadcast a total of eight South Bend Cubs games during the 2015 baseball season.
"Fan and corporate enthusiasm for the team across the region continues to grow," said Joe Hart, President of the South Bend Cubs. "This new agreement is just the latest expression of that enthusiasm. We're delighted about it. And we're planning some special things for the television games."

The Sunday games will be broadcast on WSBT-TV, the CBS affiliate in the South Bend/Elkhart market. The Saturday evening games will be broadcast on WSBT-TV's digital station, SBT2.
