The Colorado Avalanche are about to embark on one of their most-anticipated seasons in recent memory, and a large majority of the fanbase could miss it.
Regionally, meaning in Colorado and surrounding states, coverage of the team is via Altitude TV. The only games they don’t cover are the nationally-televised ones, which consists of 12 this season. Altitude also covers the Nuggets and Rapids.
The dispute is between the network and the three largest cable and satellite providers, Dish Network, Comcast, and DirecTV. All three of those providers have threatened to drop Altitude TV. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment is the parent company of Altitude.
