I see this today as well. They are probably likely to make a deal. But, Comcast has been holding strong against RSNs lately, so maybe not.
I do remember that Comcast was legally mandated to carry MASN at market rate for anti-trust conditions on owning their own RSN. Now that they don't own a RSN in the territory, I'd imagine that is no longer the case?
If they lose Comcast, they will surely be under water in terms of payments. MASN doesn't have a whole lot of room to negotiate, since these agreements have most favored nation clauses that would also reduce the amount Directv is paying, etc.
