The White Sox released this year’s spring training radio broadcast schedule Friday.

WGN Radio, the Sox’ new flagship radio station, will broadcast 10 games beginning with the Cactus League opener on Feb. 23 against the Dodgers.

Longtime broadcasters Ed Farmer and Darrin Jackson will also call the entire three-game series against the Sox’ crosstown rival, the Cubs, on Feb. 27, March 10 and March 16.

WGN Radio and the Sox jointly announced their deal Wednesday after a month of scrambling and trying to find a new home before the spring season started since Cumulus Media nullified long-term contracts with the Sox and Bulls on WLS-AM (890).

The reportedly three-year agreement includes all regular-season and postseason games as well as select spring-training games.

Chicago Bulls v Atlanta Hawks
Bulls
One question about the Bulls and Hawks meeting in a play-in game: Do they have to?
The very concept that a Bulls team frozen in borderline irrelevance, let alone a Hawks squad that’s even worse, could eventually give the top-seeded Celtics any sort of difficulty in a best-of-seven series is farcical.
