Agrest elaborated on McKnight’s upcoming role, noting that he will become a Sox employee, serving as the team insider, reporting from the field, and making appearances on CHSN shows. Additionally, he will fill in for play-by-play on both TV and radio broadcasts. John Schriffen (play-by-play) and Steve Stone (color commentary) will remain the team’s primary announcers.
The 2025 season marks the White Sox’s debut on CHSN, having previously aired their games on the now-defunct NBC Sports Chicago through the 2024 season. The White Sox are joining the NBA’s Chicago Bulls and NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks in the transition to CHSN.
