x-Late gameASSOCIATED PRESSnew york — A judge confirmed an arbitration
decision from baseball executives ordering the
Washington Nationals to be paid $296.8 million by
the cable network they jointly own with the
Baltimore Orioles for their television rights from
2012 to 2016.
The Orioles and Nationals jointly own the
Mid-Atlantic Sports Network and have been fight-
ing in court for years about how much money
Washington is owed under their unusual TV rights
arrangement.
The Orioles had asked New York Supreme Court
Justice Joel M. Cohen to reject the arbitration
decision, arguing that the executives on the
arbitration panel were compromised by conflicts of
interest. But Cohen said there was no reason to
throw out the arbitrators’ award, and he also ruled
Thursday that the Nationals were entitled to
interest on the money they have yet to be paid. The
question of how much interest the Nationals are
owed will be decided by a court official known as a
special referee clerk.
MASN was established in March 2005 after the
Montreal Expos relocated to Washington and
became the Nationals, moving into what had been
Baltimore’s exclusive broadcast territory since- The Orioles have a controlling interest in the
network.
MASN paid the Nationals for 2012-16 what the
Orioles proposed: $197.5 million. Washington ar-
gued it should be paid $475 million. A previous
arbitration panel ruled that the Nationals were
owed $298.1 million, but that decision was thrown
out by a New York court after an appeal by the
Orioles. The second panel ordered a slightly lower
payment of $296.8 million.
