[Monumental Sports and Entertainment](https://monumentalsports.com/2022/08/mseacquiresnbcsw/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), (MSE), the owner of the Wizards, Capitals, Mystics and Capital One Arena, has purchased its television partner NBC Sports Washington, reports WTOP.

Since the area’s Major League Baseball teams — the Nationals and Orioles — are carried by the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, the majority of NBCSW’s programming already focused on Monumental’s teams, adds the WTOP report.

MSE’s Founder, Chairman, Principal Partner and Chief Executive Officer is **Ted Leonsis, above,** who, states MSE, is an Internet industry pioneer who helped build AOL into a global phenomenon.

MSE already held a 33% stake in NBCSW and currently operates the streaming service Monumental Sports Network. In 2016, MSE signed a long-term partnership with the company, then known as CSN Mid-Atlantic, that covered the exclusive regional network television rights to the games of the Capitals and Wizards, states WTOP.

“We at Monumental Sports & Entertainment are incredibly excited to have reached an agreement to acquire NBC Sports Washington, an important business for our current and future core business operations,” said **Zach Leonsis**, Monumental’s president of media and new enterprises.
