Part 5/7:
With the recent settlement, the Nationals have officially dismissed all litigation against the Orioles and MASN. They remain contracted with MASN for one additional season, after which they will retain the freedom to pursue new broadcasting partnerships, free from the influence of the Orioles' control.
This transition opens exciting new avenues for the Nationals, enabling them to renegotiate their television rights and find a broadcasting solution that aligns with their financial ambitions. In a public statement, the Nationals expressed enthusiasm about their future possibilities. They promised wider distribution for games, enhancing fan engagement, and future plans to capitalize on evolving broadcasting strategies, exemplified by adopting over-the-air games formats.
