"It is being reported by multiple outlets that the Nationals will be the 8th MLB team to join the MLB.TV umbrella. This will be a new broadcast that is owned by the MLB and it should still be aired on cable television. The details remain uncertain, but their will be a TV Station to watch this time. It may be a new, leased station specific to the team."
"Will the TV Crew Change? Negotiations will ensue, but the crew should remain. It would make little sense to find a whole new crew rather than use the current casters that have been with the team forever. We might expect Dan Kolko and Kevin Frandsen to likely remain on the Nationals broadcast until we hear something different following Bob Carpenter's retirement."
The Nationals will not renew their MASN contract after a one-year deal in 2025 and are moving to the MLB.TV broadcast umbrella in 2026. The MLB will own the new broadcast while games should still air on cable. A team-specific leased station or a partnership with a local station are possible distribution options, with financial and political details to be settled. Cable subscribers will also be able to watch via the MLB.TV app on Smart TVs, iPhones, laptops, and computers. The existing broadcast crew is likely to remain, with Dan Kolko and Kevin Frandsen expected to continue.
