According to Kagan, the media research division of S&P Global Market Intelligence, MASN was in 5.6 million homes in 2018 but just 3.6 million homes in 2022. MASN has responded by cutting costs: This spring training, the network is broadcasting just four Nationals and Orioles games each, the fewest in baseball.

Being a major tech center and a wealthy, highly educated bunch of locals, the DC area is a leader in cord cutters.  I have a lot of friends who don't even have basic cable anymore, they stream everything.  MASN and NBCW' captive subscribers are not that captive anymore.

I pay $11.99 a month on DirecTV for the two RSNs.  I don't know what the fee is for Comcast or Cox or whatever your cable provider is, but I assume it's about the same.
