Monumental Sports & Entertainment rebrands as Monumental Sports Network
Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which acquired NBC Sports Washington last year, has rebranded the regional sports network as Monumental Sports Network, which will feature both a linear television channel and a digital streaming platform.
The linear channel, home to Monumental’s teams including the Washington Wizards of the NBA and Washington Capitals of the NHL, remains on the same channel numbers where NBC Sports Washington could be found by pay TV subscribers, effective Tuesday.
According to Broadcasting and Cable, the new digital platform “provides fans with enhanced video functionality for live-streaming of games with authentication of their pay TV credentials, on-demand viewing of original programming and game replay and exclusive behind-the-scenes content.”
“Since acquiring NBC Sports Washington one year ago to the day, we have spent every day since building what we believe will be the best local media experience for the greatest fans in all of sports,” said Zach Leonsis, president of media & new enterprises at Monumental Sports & Entertainment, son of company owner Ted Leonsis.
