You're the one talking about how the Cubs need to build their brand. They have a pretty big brand.

Wrigley Field is a huge brand. It doesn't even require a winner.

You said "we".
But yeah, unless I'm presented with credible information to the contrary, I'll remain convinced that they're better off in the long run with national exposure.

Wasn't the national brand based off of being on WGN for 50+ years?

Can't be. It's all the native Chicagoans going forth and spreading the gospel of Chicago sports to whichever corner of America they settled.

Semantics.
Just because their national exposure isn't through WGN on TV, doesn't mean that they aren't getting it.

You mean the rest of the country doesn't watch WGN? Noooo... really?
With major sports all pushing their own networks and possible expansions, plus cable packages for teams, there is no way for any mixed audience national cable network to compete.
