The Chicago Blackhawks will have a new radio home next season. The team will be broadcast on WGN-AM (720). As reported by the Chicago Sun-Times:

"'We're going to have a press conference, and that's likely what it'll be about,'' general manager Dale Tallon said when asked to confirm the change.

WSCR-AM (670) has carried Hawks games since the 2000-01 season.

The Blackhawks have been aggressively upgrading broadcasting and other activities such as cross-branding with the MLB Chicago White Sox.
