NBC Sports Chicago is owned by the NBC Sports Group unit of NBCUniversal, Chicago Bulls and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz; the Tribune Corporation, followed by the family of Chicago Cubs owner J. Joseph Ricketts owned a 20% stake in the network from its launch until the Cubs ended their broadcasts on the network after the end of the 2019 season, with that percentage distributed in 5% increments to the remaining partners after that point; the channel is available on cable and fiber optic television providers in most of Illinois, throughout northern Indiana, Kenosha County and southwest Michigan and nationwide on satellite provider DirecTV.

The network maintains main studios and offices located at 350 North Orleans Street, inside the River North Point Center in the Near North Side area. In November 2003, Jerry Reinsdorf, Bill Wirtz and the Tribune Company decided to end their cable television agreements for their respective teams, the Bulls, White Sox and Blackhawks with FSN Chicago, stripping that network of broadcast rights to all of the professional sports teams in the Chicago area. All three team owners decided to enter into a partnership with Comcast to form a new regional sports network, to be named Comcast SportsNet Chicago, whose launch was formally announced on December 2. CSN Chicago was created in order for the four teams to have editorial control over their broadcasts, although the network continued to share the rights to the Cubs, White Sox and Bulls with WGN-TV and WCIU-TV. Comcast SportsNet Chicago launched on October 1, 2004. At that time, with the loss of all four teams from its lineup, FSN Chicago was left with only events from some minor local and semi-professional teams, national programming from Fox Sports Net, Midwestern outdoors programs on its schedule.

After Rainbow Media shut down FSN Chicago on June 23, 2006, Comcast SportsNet Chicago acquired the regional cable television rights to broadcast sports events and entertainment programs intended for national distribution to the Fox Sports regional networks. The network subsequently relocated its operations into FSN Chicago's former studio facilities on Orleans Street. On April 2, 2007, the Tribune Company announced its intent to sell its shares in both Comcast SportsNet Chicago and the Chicago Cubs as part of the company's $8.2 billion purchase by real estate magnate Sam Zell. After inheriting the team from father Bill Wirtz upon his death in September 2007, new Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz decided to lift a longstanding ban on televised coverage of the team's home games. On March 30, 2008, the Blackhawks announced a broadcasting agreement, which renewed CSN Chicago's broadcast rights, while splitting a share of the local broadcasts with WGN-TV effective with the 2008–09 season. Comcast SportsNet Chicago, along with the other Comcast SportsNet-branded networks, implemented a new network logo style and graphics package on October 1, 2008, coinciding with the fourth anniversary of the network's launch.

On January 5, 2009, the network premiered Monsters in the Morning, a weekday morning talk show hosted by former WSCR radio host Mike North and Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter and former Chicago Bear Dan Jiggetts. The program was cancelled in January 2010, due to problems involving the show, including the program's main sponsor, the now-defunct online sports channel ChicagoSportsWebio.com, being implicated in defrauding North and others in a money laundering scheme in June 2009. On August 21, 2009, the Tribune Company sold its interests in the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field and 25% of Comcast SportsNet to the family of TD Ameritrade founder J. Joseph Ricketts for $845 million. With Comcast's acquisition of NBC Universal in February 2011, Comcast SportsNet was integrated into the new NBC Sports Group unit, culminating with the addition of the peacock logo in September 2012 and an updated graphics package based on that introduced by NBC Sports for its NBC and national cable broadcasts in January 2013.

The updated graphics were implemented on CSN's live game coverage and all studio shows, with the exception of SportsNet Central. In September 2012, Comcast SportsNet Chicago and its sister Co

Ájtte, the Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum, is a cultural and natural history museum in Jokkmokk in Lapland, Sweden. Ájtte is a museum, which specializes in the culture and nature of the mountainous area of Northern Sweden, and, the main museum and archive for the Sami culture of Sweden. Ájtte is an information centre for tourism in Lapland. The word ájtte is a Lule Sami language one, meaning storage hut and referring to the museum as an archive for artifacts of the Sami cultural heritage. Ájtte has a staff of about 25 employees. The museum is owned and managed by a foundation, established in 1983 by the Swedish Government, the Norrbotten Region, the Jokkmokk Municipality and the two national Sami organizations Svenska Samernas Riksförbund and Same Ätnam. According to an agreement on financing of the museum, entered into the same year, the Government bodies commit themselves to a long term financial contribution to the museum; such funds are the result of a court decision regarding compensation after rivers in Lapland have been exploited for electric power generation.

The Swedish government appoints the chairman and three of the members of the board of the foundation. Thus, government funds cover around half of the current budget of the museum. Since 1995 Ájtte has established an alpine botanical garden at the valley of Kvarnbäcken in Jokkmokk with plants from different environments of the mountain range of Northern Scandinavia. One of the century-old researcher cottages from Sarek National Park and used by the pioneering scientist Axel Hamberg, has been dismantled and moved from Sarek and reerected in the botanical garden.
