The Chicago Sun-Times released its annual Chicago sports media power rankings. This is the Chicago Sun-Times' sixth edition of the sports media power rankings.

For this year's edition, lead play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Cubs, Boog Sciambi, comes in at the No. 1 spot. After ranking third on last year's list, Sciambi finally claims the top spot. 

"It took a few years, but baseball matters again on the North Side, and “Boog” has met the moment. Last season was his best with the Cubs. He and analyst Jim Deshaies are a perfect match, and their banter with reporter Taylor McGregor is fun. Sciambi also rose to the occasion calling the greatest World Series ever for ESPN Radio," Jeff Agrest said.

Lead radio play-by-play announcer Pat Hughes was also featured at the top of these rankings. He was listed at the No. 3 spot, only behind Sciambi and Bulls' play-by-play announcer Adam Amin.
