I had mlb.tv for all of last season, and a little more than half the time it showed the WNG/CSN broadcast.  Within the last week I have subscribed to the service again, and all four games I've seen have been the opposing team's FSN broadcast.

Has mlb.tv been showing WGN/CSN at all this season?  It seems kind of weird to day I miss hearing Bob & Len, but I'm definitely tired of hearing the repetitive "did you know?" factoids that the opposing teams' broadcasters mention about the Cubs.

Tough to say
But in this case they showed all the home team's broadcasts. I guess on the weekend they'll have Len and Bob again.

I haven't been watching as much lately...
both due to a larger workload and less reason to watch. However, early on in the season they were alternating which broadcast they'd carry, and would include WGN and CSN games. One trick we were using early in the season was we'd reload the game if we really hated the announcers (like the Cubs-Cards telecasts) to get the one we wanted. Apparently, they carry both telecasts for some games and the one you get is ranodm. This also worked when i wanted to listen to Vin Scully call the Cubs-Dodgers series.
The Cubs better shine 'fore twenty-oh-nine!

Wow
I had no idea they sometimes carried both broadcasts simultaneously.  I'll try that next time.
