Judge Rules In Orioles' Favor In MASN Dispute 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Nov 6, 2015 12:17 pm

The New York Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Baltimore Orioles and against the Washington Nationals in a long-running dispute relating to the rights fees owed to the latter team by the jointly-owned MASN.

MASN, which is controlled and majority-owned by the Orioles, brought the lawsuit to challenge an arbitration award that purported to settle the annual television broadcast fees owed by the network to the Nationals.

The Nationals own a minority share in the network and the ruling vacates the arbitration award.

If the decision is upheld on appeal, it would require the parties to renegotiate and/or re-arbitrate the rights fees.
