David Kaplan gets new deal at CSN ChicagoCourtesy
the Chicago Tribune
(December 16, 2010) David Kaplan has signed a multi-year agreement to remain at Comcast SportsNet Chicago in an expanded TV and online role, the channel announced Wednesday.
Kaplan will host Chicago Cubs pregame and postgame shows and take on a greater role on "SportsNet Central" in addition to continuing as moderator of "Chicago Tribune" live, which features the newspaper's sports writers. CSN Chicago is owned by Comcast, the Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago Tribune parent Tribune Co. still has a small stake in the Cubs as a vestige of its earlier ownership of the franchise. Besides the CSN deal, Kaplan may be close to signing a new contract with Chicago Tribune parent Tribune Co.'s WGN-AM 720, where he was host of "Sports Central" until last spring and has remained an integral part of the station's Cubs coverage. During coverage following the death of former Cubs player and announcer Ron Santo, Kaplan also played a prominent role. Read more at
