Television broadcasts were formally split three ways: WGN (both the local feed and WGN America), WCIU-TV (a local independent station) and NBC Sports Chicago. The announcers are the same wherever the game is televised: Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson on play-by-play and Steve Stone on color. Occasionally, well-known former White Sox players such as "Black Jack" McDowell fill in as substitutes in the broadcast booth. However since the 2019 season NBC Sports Chicago is the exclusive home for non nationally televised White Sox games. Since the 2019 season Jason Benetti has been the play-by-play announcer.

Phillies games used to be unavailable on the satellite version of MLB Extra Innings. Beginning in 2007, both the cable and satellite version of MLB Extra Innings began to use the then CSN Philadelphia feed for some games and in 2008, when MLB Extra Innings began showing both feeds of most games, all Phillies games shown on the then CSN Philadelphia became available to all subscribers. In 2010, Phillies games on WPHL (which are produced by NBC Sports Philadelphia) were also shown on Extra Innings. Residents in the Philadelphia area cannot view these games due to blackout restrictions.

SNY carries at least 120 Mets games per season (with the remainder airing on
Notes:
- Mets games on SNY and post-games delay other programming, such as the 10:00 SportsNite, and preempt all or parts of shows at midnight when a 7:00 game runs long.
- There is no 10:00 SportsNite when the Mets play a game on SNY starting at 8:00 or later.
- Mets games on WPIX (and simulcast on other stations) are produced by SNY.
- All times given in Eastern Time Zone, as SportsNet New York is based in New York City.
- As of the start of the 2007 Mets season, SNY debuted a new set of graphics for both their Mets telecasts and SportsNite telecasts. These graphics include a new scoreboard which goes along the entire top portion of the screen as well as a new sports ticker on the bottom portion of the screen. The ticker now provides more stats including wins, losses, and saves, much like the ESPN BottomLine ticker. SNY features a "SNY HD" logo in the scoreboard for games that are available in high-definition on both the HD and SD feeds. Games shown on WPIX replace the SNY logo with the PIX11 logo. The scoreboard was updated in the 2009 Mets season.
- None of the programming on SNY was closed-captioned for the hearing impaired until May 1, 2009. On that date the game between the Mets and Phillies was closed-captioned. The FCC gives new stations four years before they are required to begin captioning. As of February, 2010, SNY became fully closed-captioned.
