Airing on MASN2, the official channel of the Nats, evidently.
I've noticed the same thing lately! Rather than having the teams flip-flop stations based on opponent, lunar phase, and whatever other criteria goes into it, it would sure be nice if they could park each team on a permanent channel. For example, have a 'MASN-DC' and a 'MASN-Baltimore.' A lot of the programming would be the same throughout the week, but one would show the Nats and the other would show the O's. MASN-DC would have special Nats-related programming, and the other would do the same for the O's. And DC people wouldn't have the O's shoved down their throats, and vice-versa.
I've always had a suspiscion that this channel-jumping nonsense has played a role--albeit a small one--in the Nats poor TV numbers over the years. Die-hards will find the games, but when you're trying to build a fan base, you have to make it easy for people to find you.
Imagine a brand new restaurant that's trying to build a clientele, but they keep changing their operating hours so people who MIGHT be interested in trying the place get frustrated and don't bother.
