Sports fans in the Baltimore-Washington corridor will have more access, more choice and more engagement regarding their entertainment experience beginning Oct. 13, with the rollout of an innovative distribution model of sports content.
Monumental Sports Network will begin offering access to hundreds of live sports events and original programming, plus add-on, real-life events and exclusive merchandise, as part of a subscription service that will deliver sports content on virtually every type of consumer device or appliance currently in use.
Most immediately, Monumental Sports Network will offer live streaming game action of the Washington Capitals' minor league franchises, the Hershey Bears (AHL) and the South Carolina Stingrays (ECHL). And in the future, there will be live games of the Washington Mystics (WNBA); the new Arena Football League entry, the Washington Valor; the National Pro Grid League DC Brawlers, and top high school and community events.
"We believe this is a first of its kind anywhere as a regional effort, in that we're talking about multiple sports, multiple teams, multiple leagues; but all of them have a home team touch," said Zach Leonsis, Monumental Sports Network vice president and general manager.
