The Federal Communications Commission Wednesday gave MASN until Monday -- a three-business-day extension -- to file its response to Comcast, which was in turn responding to a program-access complaint filed against it by MASN.

An MASN spokesman would not comment on the subject of the complaint, but it appears related to the deal, much praised in Washington, that was struck two years ago between Comcast and MASN for the carriage of Washington Nationals Major League Baseball games.
