Baltimore TV: It Just Got More Expensive To Watch MASN


The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network and Comcast have reached an agreement that will keep the regional sports network as part of Xfinity’s cable packages — but will move MASN and MASN2 to an elevated, more expensive tier.

The transition of MASN from Xfinity’s basic tier, Popular TV, to Ultimate TV is expected to take place Tuesday.

Current subscribers in the Baltimore area who have Popular TV and do not wish to subscribe to MASN, which airs Orioles and Washington Nationals games, will see a slight decrease in their cable bill, since they will no longer pay the regional sports network fee associated with MASN.

But Popular TV subscribers who want to watch Orioles and Washington Nationals games will need to purchase the pricier package, which will eventually cost $20 more a month. Comcast is offering a six-month promotional deal for Popular TV subscribers who want to transition to Ultimate TV: The upgrade will not cost anything extra for the first three months and will then cost an additional $10 a month for the following three months.

A new Xfinity cable subscriber in the Baltimore area can expect to pay, with fees included, about $95 a month for Popular TV. Ultimate TV costs roughly $115.
