Deb Boulac is an award-winning, groundbreaking TV producer. So it’s fitting that she’ll lead a historic broadcast Saturday when CBS airs the Fever-Sky game at the United Center — the first regular-season game in WNBA history to air on broadcast TV in prime time. “I’m honored to be able to be part of this, and I think that women’s basketball is getting the stage they deserve,” said Boulac, who has been at CBS since 1998.

When the Cubs launched Marquee Sports Network five years ago, I pushed for them to air a package of games on WGN.
