MASN Still Stinks

Harper at OMG, who's one of the unfortunate (fortunate?) people in NC who can't get MASN has a field day breaking down the half truths and manipulative propaganda that MASN is spitting out in their PR derby with the local cable provider.

The conclusion:

I suspect, unless MLB changes its rules up, that MASN will eventually get on TWC one way or another. And if it does, great. More baseball is always good. But for now, I want MASN just to shut up or be straight up with NC. It’s not a local station. It’s a 60% Baltimore/ 35% DC Station that happens to have a bit of NC programming and some major sports Carolinians might be interested in. Shut-up and negotiate. Don’t try to leverage me.

But the run-up to it is 90% of the fun!
