I just read that MASN (mid-atlantic sports net) has the television rights for all orioles and national baseball games in 2007 but as of yet has not made a decision to offer games in hd. They are still evaluating whether or not to broadcast in hd.

If you are an orioles\national fan and want to express your desire for hd this year you can contact MASN here:

I believe if enough people request hd, it just might happen.

They need to clear the channel with cable and satellite providers.

You need to lobby them as well. MASN won't go HD if they can't get the channel space. And since they are using two channels on systems around the area once baseball starts, a third in HD will be a hard sell.

Maybe once the O's fans realize they LOST hi def coverage....

Please post in the topic for local area.
