Ratings for the Nats have to be higher than 5-10 years ago, and the RSNs need live sports to stop the cord cutting.
The MASN market has the third highest number of cable subscribers in the country and a very high level of income. MASN should be able to increase income.
Their ratings are still terrible and providers are fighting cord cutting by trying to hold the line on pricing. Teams that are far more popular than the nats and os are having problems even getting on tv. In LA, people have realized that not having the local team televised isn't the end of the world. MASN may score some wins, but there's no reason to think total revenue increasing is a sure thing
