Dispute ends between Nats and O’s over TV rights fees
Major League Baseball announced the end of a long-running saga over the Washington Nationals’ television rights between the 20-year-old D.C. team and the Baltimore Orioles, reports CNN.
“For the 2025 season, Washington Nationals games will continue to be televised locally exclusively by the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) under a new, one-year contract,” the league said in a statement.
“After this term, the Nationals will be free to explore alternatives for their television rights for the 2026 season and beyond. As part of the settlement, all disputes related to past media rights between the Nationals, Orioles, and MASN have been resolved, and all litigation will be dismissed.”
The announcement puts an end to a dispute that has existed as long as the Nationals themselves. No financial agreements were made public.
