Angelos invited to congress on Friday re Comcast deal

(AP) WASHINGTON Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos has been invited to testify before Congress on Friday on problems with the Washington Nationals' television deal. Angelos tells The Baltimore Sun he plans to give his version of the dispute that prevents Comcast cable customers from seeing most Nationals games. The House Government Reform Committee hearing is set for Friday afternoon. Angelos says Comcast has repeatedly been offered the chance to carry Nationals games. DirecTV and Cox cable both have deals to carry the Nationals over the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. Officials from Comcast, Cox and Major League Baseball are also invited to testify at Friday's hearing, as well as D-C Mayor Tony Williams.
