Are some of the local TV stations in Chicago, wasting their time airing Chicago Bears games this season?

The Chicago Tribune are reporting that WCIU-Ch. 26, WLS-Ch. 7, WGN-Ch. 9, WFLD-Ch. 32, WBBM-Ch. 2 and WMAQ-Ch. 5 all have picked up Chicago Bears games to air in the Chicago area for this season. Of all these stations, only WFLD-Ch 32, WBBM-Channel 2, and WMAQ-C5 are ones airs football games regulary. The rest of the channels have picked up air games that will air on cable stations ESPN and the NFL Network. And maybe not every home has cable, but if they do I would think that all cable companies will have ESPN, but I do realize that not everybody is going to have the NFL network. So are the rest the channels that don't air either Chicago Bears or football games locally, are they wasting their time airing games. Take a look at a href="http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/towerticker/2010/06/wciu-sixth-chicago-station-to-get-bears-will-air-packers-game.html" rel="nofollow"http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/towe…/a , I say yes that they are wasting their time, do we expect the Chicago Bears to be good this year? They have kept their head coach Love Smith, and fired most of their other coaches, but it should have been time for Lovie to get the axe. So please tell me yes or no, and why or why not?
