I'm not an expert but MASN is a 2nd rate outfit (IMHO).
My problem with MASN is that they have no young talent for either team and the studios are old looking, especially in standard definition. Ben on air is a breath of fresh air to the broadcasts. Look at the O's crew, too. All older guys. The MASN nightly report. ALL older guys.
Young on-air talent would make the broadcasts, especially the pre-game shows and such, much more interesting. I love Johnny but I'd be happy with a solid younger host. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just really don't like Phil Wood and the other dinosaurs he does his nightly show with.
