What if the answer to Altitude Sports’ problems could be found in LoDo?
Major distributors Comcast, DirecTV and DISH dropped the regional sports network earlier this month and negotiations have stalled. With the Avalanche’s regular-season opener still two weeks away — and the Nuggets’ opener a few weeks after that — neither side feels much pressure… yet. But just because Altitude’s traditional setup is in jeopardy doesn’t mean there aren’t other potential avenues to be explored.
One possibility, which would entail an upheaval of the local sports network landscape, could involve AT&T Sports Net and the Rockies’ television rights, which are up next summer.
