MASN and Comcast Reach Carriage Deal, Orioles and Nationals Games Move to Pricier Cable Package

MASN and Comcast have reached a carriage deal that will see Orioles and Nationals games move to a pricier cable package. The agreement, announced on Friday, will result in MASN and MASN2 being elevated from the basic package to the Ultimate TV package on Xfinity’s cable packages. The change is set to take effect on Tuesday, with Comcast contacting customers to communicate the change. Subscribers already on the Ultimate TV package will see no change in pricing, while Popular TV customers will have the option to reduce the RSN fee if they do not wish to continue with MASN. Comcast has also announced a promotional offer for customers transitioning to the Ultimate TV package. The carriage deal between MASN and Comcast was initially set to expire at the end of February but was extended for a week as negotiations continued this month.
