  "account": "Cubs fans should prepare for late-night baseball viewing, as Major League Baseball has announced the TV schedule for the Wild Card Series. Games 1 and 2 are set for Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 p.m. Central time. The schedule for Thursday, Oct. 1, is uncertain, depending on the number of games played. If the Cubs play Game 3, the match will still be at 9 p.m. Central time. However, there are various scenarios for two games on Thursday: one game could start at 7 p.m. CT and be broadcast on NBC and Peacock. It remains unclear whether these games will be on over-the-air NBC channels in Chicago and San Diego.",
