Around 30 freelancers who work on the pre- and postgame production of baseball broadcasts for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, which televises all Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals games and is part-owned by both franchises, have been told that for now they are not receiving financial assistance from the network while the baseball season is delayed because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Another 30 to 40 people who make up the game production crew — camera workers and people in the production truck — at Camden Yards and Nationals Park also have been told they will receive no compensation for now, though this group is contracted by MASN through an outside company, according to several people who have been affected.
The position stands in contrast to those made by other media companies that have made short-term commitments to their freelance staffs.
