Comcast Moves Orioles, Nationals Broadcasts to Higher Cable Tier

In a recent deal, Comcast and MASN have agreed to shift broadcasts of Orioles and Nationals games to a more expensive cable package, affecting fans in the Mid-Atlantic region.

• Comcast and the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) reach an agreement to keep the network on Comcast's Xfinity cable package, moving it to a pricier tier.
• The change will cost fans in the Baltimore/D.C. area about $20 more per month after an initial six-month promotional period.
• MASN's move to the Ultimate TV package comes as the Orioles enjoy a ratings boost, with a 65% increase in in-market deliveries compared to 2022.
• The deal includes a promotional offer for subscribers upgrading to the Ultimate TV package, with no extra cost for the first three months.
• The agreement is part of Comcast's broader strategy, having reached similar deals with regional sports networks in Seattle and Pittsburgh.
