There's also a new intro. I saw a comment a little while ago, and the commenter stated their graphics are supposed to be based on the Orioles' social media graphics. That's fine, but I can't help but feel as though MASN's graphics are a slight downgrade from what's come before (not to mention, most of the graphics still use the sliding animations from the 2022-25 set on account of using that same infrastructure). Also, the pitch clock is very tiny.

This is the first MASN season that's completely and entirely Orioles-based, the way the team wanted. As a result, MASN has a new logo that eliminates any references to the Nationals and its blue shades.

Some more observations: CHSN has started overlaying the pitch clock as an augmented reality graphic near the mound. As far as I know, they are the first to do this. The Mariners will be airing 10 games on broadcast TV in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, and Hawaii, with KING 5 as flagship. https://www.mlb.com/press-release/mariners-king-5-tv-announce-six-state-list-of-telecast-affiliates Speaking of Seattle, I've noticed that the Mariners' MLB Local Media productions (both this year and last year) frequently use a type of "panel" graphic above the scoreboard that appear to be completely unique to them, and have not been used by any other team. As much as I detest them for how dated they look, this is a detail that does make them stand out in terms of presentation. I think I may have an explanation for them: the old ATTSN/Root graphics did similar "toasts". Given they maintain team-employed staff, it may have been added to replicate this functionality.

I don't want to get too political here, but there is a huge case against the central Corporation for Public Broadcasting out of bias concerns. I do have a spot for public broadcasting, but under a more state/local-centric model.
