    EMERGENCY PODCAST: The MASN Era is Officially Over
    Jan 15 2026

    The Nationals announced on Wednesday that the era of games airing on MASN is over and that the next chapter of local broadcasts will be on the newly formed "Nationals TV". Al & Tim explain what this means and how this will align with some other MLB team's broadcast situation.

    (06:00) A refresher on the decade plus litigation between the Orioles & Nats over MASN that suddenly ended last year.

    (12:15) How will the new broadcast compare to its predecessor?

    (21:15) Alexa Datt has reportedly been hired as the team's new sideline reporter and she comes from the Cardinals broadcast team. Who will replace Bob Carpenter as the play-by-play announcer?

    (23:00) The Orioles will remain on MASN, but MASN2 will no longer exist.
