Fans of the Baltimore Orioles will have to pay extra this year since games have been shifted to a more expensive TV
tier.
The Baltimore Orioles want to have another successful season in 2024 after winning over 100 games, making the
playoffs, and winning the AL East division previous year.
They endured a dismal postseason exit, being swept by the Texas Rangers in the ALDS, but they are on track with
their rebuild and have a promising future.
Fans are reaping the benefits of sticking with their club during the organization’s dismantling effort, as it appears
that this bunch may win the Orioles’ first World Series triumph since 1983.
Unfortunately, local fans will have to pay extra to watch the club on MASN this season, as Xfinity has shifted them to
a more expensive tier.
“The move of MASN from Xfinity’s basic tier, Popular TV, to Ultimate TV is slated to occur Tuesday… Popular TV
subscribers who want to watch Orioles and Nationals games will have to buy the pricier package, which will
eventually cost $20 extra per month, according to Hayes Gardner of The Baltimore Sun.
That brings the cost to approximately $115 per month for Xfinity subscribers who want to watch Baltimore in 2024.
MASN and Xfinity had a partnership in place since 2006, but it was slated to expire on February 29 until an
extension was agreed upon, and eventually a new arrangement was negotiated.
The duration of the agreement has yet to be announced.
Gardner also claims that fans wishing to upgrade packages to continue watching the Orioles in 2024 will be able to
do so at a lower cost.
“Comcast is offering a six-month promotional deal for Popular TV subscribers who want to transition to Ultimate
TV: The upgrade will not cost anything extra for the first three months and will then cost an additional $10 a month
for the following three months,” he writes in a blog post.
