Well, I got a little suspicious based on their inclusion of the Orioles and Nationals, two teams that -- let's face it -- nobody outside of the beltway gives two flips about.
So it turns out that MASN considers themselves the home network of:
* Baltimore Ravens
* Washington Redskins
* Baltimore Orioles
* Washington Nationals
* Georgetown
* West Virginia
* Notre Dame
* Pitt
* Syracuse
* George Mason
* UConn
* Ohio State
* Rutgers
(sarcasm flag on) STRANGE that neither Duke, UNC, nor NCSU -- in fact, not even Maryland -- appear on their list of teams they broadcast. (sarcasm flag off)
Now they're sponsoring a "switch from Time-Warner to DirecTV campaign.
Well, I for one would like to thank Time Warner for standing up to the guerilla marketing campaign. Shame on DirecTV for sponsoring it further.
Hey MASN, back off! NOBODY down here wants to be bombarded with second class college sports, third class major league baseball and the two most hated teams in the NFL (the pocket of old fashioned Redskin fans aside).
