For the first time, fans of the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles can stream their local games without a cable subscription through a new service called MASN+, priced at $19.99 per month or $89.99 for the remainder of the season. This step addresses long-standing frustrations among fans who previously lacked access to game telecasts within their markets due to the restrictions of MLB's television rights. The launch comes amid significant changes in regional sports networks, highlighted by decreasing viewership and an upcoming end to the Nationals' current TV rights agreement with MASN.
For many years, the lack of in-market streaming has frustrated Nationals and Orioles fans because it meant some did not have access to most game telecasts.
MASN+ launches at a moment of uncertainty for regional sports networks, as cord cutting has decimated what was once an extremely lucrative business for baseball teams.
