CBS Corporation, which remained majority owner, eventually merged into Viacom in 1999, in a deal worth $91 billion.

[4][5] One month later, on July 11, Comcast agreed to acquire a 75% ownership stake in HTS and the Midwest Sports Channel from CBS, in a deal worth approximately $150 million.

[6][7] News Corporation, which wanted to acquire full ownership of both networks, filed a lawsuit ten days later on July 21 in an attempt to block the sale of MSC and Home Team Sports.

[11] The channel was relaunched as Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic on April 4, 2001, exactly seventeen years after the network's original launch.

While the websites were rebranded, the network continued to maintain a singular feed that was transmitted throughout its entire coverage area.

The network formerly held the television rights to the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League, broadcasting the team's games from 2011 until the UFL folded in 2012.

The network also serves as the official cable partner of the NFL's Washington Commanders, holding the rights to televise the team's preseason games; until the consummation of the 2012 merger between NBC and Comcast, which placed Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic and NBC owned-and-operated station WRC-TV (channel 4) under common ownership, games broadcast on WRC-TV were transmitted in 480i standard-definition television to provide high-definition television exclusivity for the regional network.

[20] Prior to joining the Sun Belt Conference, which does not allow member schools to have local third tier rights for most sports, James Madison University football and basketball aired on the network.

Monumental+ is a direct-to-consumer streaming service including access to all Capitals, Wizards and Mystics games that air on the network, for $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year.
