Schulte, with husband Ray, hopes to watch 2-year-old Ryan in sporting events someday.
Rebecca Schulte came to Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic in 2005, just as the regional sports network was losing the rights to the staple of its summer schedule, the Baltimore Orioles, to a rival regional sports network. What Schulte has done in the ensuing six years is keep the Comcast-owned RSN relevant in a sports market without any MLB rights and with an NBA team, the Washington Wizards, that has been one of the league’s worst. Schulte has strengthened the channel’s relationships with other local teams. Notably, Schulte picked up rights to the NFL Ravens in August, helping the channel re-establish a foothold in Baltimore. Schulte also has been active securing summer rights with Washington’s MLS and World TeamTennis clubs, D.C. United and the Kastles, respectively.
