Makko National Sports Network, also known as MNSN, is the defacto and only sports private broadcasting company in the Empire Of Makko Oko.
History
Founding Of MNSN
The inception of the Makko National Sports Network came about after the official construction of the Joria National Stadium was completed, and was founded by Loree Eades on October 13th, 2002. Loree founded MNSN with the express purpose of being able to use televisions as a way to give people an option to watch sports that happen at the stadium, from the comfort of their own home. The first channel, back then named just "MNSN", launched on TV providers the same day.
The launch was widely successful, garnering half a million subscribers within the first 6 months of operation. Content first broadcasted on MNSN include live sporting events, exclusive interviews with players and after-event recaps and talks. The most successful content at the time, were the live sporting events and the exclusive interviews.
Addition Of MNSN2 & Government Support
MNSN had been doing fairly well, being the only sports network in the nation for over a decade, and much like MKBO, saw a need to add in a time synchronization channel, which is where MNSN2 came in. MNSN2 launched on June 11th, 2004, as a later-broadcast channel of the flagship and primary MNSN channel.
By 2005, MNSN had a reach of 29 million subscribers, and at the time, was one of the biggest TV networks in the nation by subscriber count. This caught the government's attention, previously being more known as a small-time broadcaster, now garnering national attention and praise. The Makko Okoan Government, under President Gary Taormina, saw to it to give MNSN public funding and help expand it to 100% of the population. In a statement made to the Makko Okoan Republic at the time, Gary Taormina said "With this funding, we hope to make sports one of the most popular past times of the republic, and everybody should be joining along with this."
CEO and Founder Loree Eades, however, did not wish to expand so quickly, and while MNSN took the funding, used it towards improving content uniqueness and for obtaining broadcasting deals and rights for things such as sports-related movies and TV shows. The total funding allotted to MNSN amounted to $630M SLO's over a period spanning 3 years.

Channels
MNSN currently operates 3 national television channels and no international channels. All channels are available for a charge as defined by the television provider in question, with the channels being available on all providers.
MNSN 1 (The First)
- MNSN's primary and flagship channel, MNSN 1. It was launched along with the company itself, and broadcasts all kinds of sports content.
MNSN 2 (The Second)
- MNSN's secondary channel, MNSN 2, broadcasts the same thing as MNSN 1 except on a later time, meaning it broadcasts what MNSN 1 showed earlier, in case anybody missed it.
The eSports Network
- MNSN's newest and most popular channel, the eSports Network is the only channel to not follow the MNSN branding, and broadcasts strictly eSports games and programs, including popular gaming videos and commentary from online. eSports is not shown on MNSN 1 or 2, and this channel is considered to be somewhat separate from MNSN.
Former Services
MNSN used to have an online service and website, but it shut down in April of 2022 due to dwindling funding, and it couldn't be upkept.
