CHICAGO -- The Cubs announced their regular season television broadcast schedule on Thursday, and the season opener April 5 from Atlanta will be carried on WCIU with WGN handling the home opener April 12 against Milwaukee.

Fans who subscribe to MLB.TV can also watch live games online.

The Cubs will be on ESPN back-to-back Sunday night broadcasts on July 11 from Los Angeles, which is the last game before the All-Star break, and July 18 at home against Philadelphia.

While WCIU will carry the first game of 2010, Comcast SportsNet will televise the next two against the Braves April 7-8 from Turner Field. This is the sixth season Comcast will broadcast Cubs games.

Fans have watched Cubs games on WGN since 1948 and the station will carry at least 58 games, with possibly six more, depending on whether those games are picked up by ESPN or FOX.

The Cubs are scheduled to air on FOX eight times in 2010, including May 22 at Texas; May 29 vs. St. Louis; June 12 vs. White Sox; June 26 at White Sox; July 10 at Los Angeles; Aug. 14 at St. Louis; Aug. 21 vs. Atlanta; and Sept. 4 vs. the New York Mets.

Len Kasper and Bob Brenly return for their sixth season in the Cubs' broadcast booth. The duo was recognized following the 2006 and 2008 seasons with a local Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement for Individual Excellence On Camera: Programming, Play-by-Play.

Here's the 2010 TV broadcast schedule. All times listed are Central Time and are subject to change.
