MASN On The Move

Live in Herndon or Fairfax? MASN's now available. (or soon, at least)

They've signed on with Verizon to provide MASN via the FiOS service.

I don't know much about FiOS, other than what the press release states, but it seems to me that it's more of an internet service than a cable company.

If that's the case, I wonder what MLB Advanced Media will have to say about this; they have the exclusive internet rights to baseball broadcasts, and would probably be opposed to any circumvention of their rights.

Recall that early this spring, the Nationals had announced a deal to broadcast all games without blackout online to paying customers. That plan was quickly foiled (by DirecTV, I believe).

If MLB Advanced Media does have a problem, I can envisioning them carrying MASN but just blacking out the games. Allegedly MASN will debut round-the-clock service, probably featuring the same crappy Fox Sports Net darts and cards shows that you already don't watch.

Meanwhile, the 95% of the area that's subject to Comcast goes without. Sigh.
