Comcast SportsNet Chicago is beefing up its digital offerings at wwwcsnChicago.com. The cable sports channel has unveiled a new look for its Web site with user-friendly features, including the ability to comment on and share videos and play videos from a rotating slide show. The site also boasts a sports video library, with coverage of the Chicago Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, White Sox and Bears. Comcast SportsNet Chicago's managing partner Comcast Sports Group and SB Nation also have established a content-sharing and cross-promotional partnership that will allow sports fans to access content from both outlets on each other's Web sites.
In addition, CSNC has added Joe Marino in the newly-created position of digital sales manager. Marino previously was an account manager with alternative rock WKQX-FM (101.1). Since csnChicago.com relaunched in August, 2009, the site has experienced a 238 percent increase in visits, a 243 percent increase in page views and a 213 percent increase in unique visitors.
