Fritz's World

An exciting and awe-inspiring glimpse into my life: movie reviews (which are replete with spoilers), Penn State football, Washington Nationals, and life here in the nation's capital. Can you handle it?

Will Washington, DC ever love MASN?

So it seems that the sports channel MASN is now trying to warm up to Washington, DC—though I don't see that happening anytime soon. MASN suffers from the fact that it was created to (unnecessarily) compensate Peter Angelos for the arrival of the Nationals, and that alienated so many from the Washington region by default. So it's a bitter pill that Nationals fans have to swallow every time we see a game on MASN . . . because we know our money is going to the man who fought tooth-and-nail to keep a team from coming here.

If MASN really wanted to create goodwill among Washingtonians, then the revenue split between the Orioles and the Nats would be 50/50, not 90/10 as it currently stands. It wouldn't hurt to put better-quality broadcasts out, too. I unfortunately had to watch one Penn State game on MASN in October, and the sound and picture feed was terrible! I actually had to put on closed-captioning just to hear what the broadcasters were saying!
