New York’s highest court rules against MASN in Orioles-Nationals TV rights fee case

On Tuesday morning, the State of New York Court of Appeals issued a decision in the matter of TCR Sports Broadcasting Holding v. WN Partner. TCR Sports runs a couple of television channels under the banner of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. WN Partner is the entity that owns the Washington Nationals. Yes, friends, this is the MASN case, now nearly a decade into litigation. It may finally be mostly over. MASN, and in effect its majority owners the Orioles, have lost their years-long battle to get a court to agree that an MLB panel will be inherently biased against them in deciding on TV rights fees for the Nationals.
