: The schedule for the upcoming season takes half the time because Chicago always has and always will be a Bears town...
Indeed.
As good as the Blackhawks are, there is a hierarchy to the Chicago sports teams.
1. Bears
2. Cubs
3. Sox
4. Bulls
5. Blackhawks
6. Wolves
7. Everybody else
The Bears are by far the most popular sports team in Chicago. A big Bears story like the much-anticipated release of next year's schedule will always top the sports news. This is ESPECIALLY true on WBBM, which makes BIG money off of Bears broadcasts.
