This is the best article I've seen that sums up the MASN situation:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/06/06/nationals-sale-masn-orioles/There's a lot of embarrassment to go around on this whole situation not the least of which is the court system. Here from the article:
"A decade ago, the Nationals sued MASN over tens of millions of dollars in rights fees that they believed MASN owed them. That lawsuit is ongoing. Meanwhile, the relationship between the network and the Nationals has become so acrimonious that the sides are also embroiled in a separate lawsuit over how the network’s profits are distributed."
"But the Nationals also have a new form of leverage. In addition to MASN’s outlook, a New York court found that MASN owes the Nationals some $100 million in back pay for rights between 2012 and 2017. The Orioles are appealing, but the Nationals’ TV rights since 2017 could be an entirely new lawsuit. "
What's wrong with the court system where they just let it sit before them indefinitely?
