If you have turned on NBC Sports Washington lately (it’s Channel 576 on Verizon FiOS), you will note that there is no more NBC Sports Washington. The network is now Monumental Sports Network. This is nothing new to us, because Monumental Sports & Entertainment bought the network in full last year and they announced the new name last June.
That said, the name change in the past few days has been more of a soft launch, sort of like when a restaurant does a “soft opening” before their grand opening. Per their social media, the official launch will be on Sept.
