Orioles and Nationals Settle Part of Dispute Over MASN TV Rights Payments
- The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals reached an agreement to settle a dispute over payments from 2012 to 2016 regarding the Nationals' local television rights.
- The Orioles agreed to pay the Nationals nearly $100 million.
- The settlement does not resolve years of tension between the clubs as they must determine the amount MASN owes for 2017 to 2021.
- MLB and the Nationals are hopeful the agreement will make determining future rights fees easier.
- Future payments may decrease due to changing viewer habits towards streaming.
