===Radio=== Cubs radio rights are held by [[Entercom]]; its acquisition of the radio rights effective 2015 (under [[CBS Radio]]) ended the team's 90-year association with [[WGN (AM)|720 WGN]]. During the first season of the contract, Cubs games aired on [[WBBM (AM)|WBBM]], taking over as flagship of the [[Chicago Cubs Radio Network]]. On November 11, 2015, CBS announced that the Cubs would move to WBBM's all-sports sister station, [[WSCR (AM)|WSCR]], beginning in the 2016 season. The move was enabled by WSCR's end of their rights agreement for the White Sox, who moved to [[WLS (AM)|WLS]].<ref name=suntimes-cubswscr>{{cite web |title = Cubs make their radio move to WSCR official |url = http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/1091613/cubs-make-radio-move-wscr-official |website = Chicago Sun-Times |access-date = November 17, 2015 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151117224156/http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/1091613/cubs-make-radio-move-wscr-official |archive-date = November 17, 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.chicagotribune.com/2014/06/04/wbbm-to-be-cubs-new-radio-home/ |title = WBBM to be Cubs' new radio home |work = Chicago Tribune |date = June 4, 2014 |access-date = October 19, 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title = WSCR-AM 670 The Score Named The Cubs' New Flagship Station |url = http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/11/11/wscr-am-670-the-score-named-the-cubs-new-flagship-station/ |website = CBS Chicago |location = Chicago |publisher = WBBM-TV |date = November 11, 2015 |access-date = November 11, 2015 }}</ref> The play-by-play voice of the Cubs is [[Pat Hughes (sportscaster)|Pat Hughes]], who has held the position since 1996, joined by [[Ron Coomer]].
