An update: NBC Sports has reported that the sale from NFL Media to ESPN seems to be closing.

This may be the cause behind NFL Network's drain in original programming, with the latest being NFL Total Access getting the axe after 21 years. Its last episode is scheduled in mid-May.

Onto local sports... Chicago White Sox (MLB), Bulls (NBA) and Blackhawks (NHL) are reportedly on the move from NBC Sports Chicago, to a new RSN under Standard Media Group (part of Standard General, and part of the aborted merger between them, Apollo, Cox and Tegna last year), instead of the previously rumoured Stadium.
