The local television blackout of Avalanche and Nuggets games on Comcast might finally be nearing its end.
Altitude TV — a Kroenke-owned independent regional sports network — has updated its position in contract negotiations with a new offer to Comcast. The state’s largest cable provider has not carried Altitude since their previous deal expired in September 2019.
“It is Altitude’s aim that this offer will bring the case to a close and return the network to Comcast for Front Range fans,” Altitude said in a Friday news release.
Leslie Oliver, director of external communications at Comcast, said: “We continue to remain open to options that could allow Comcast to show the games in a way that avoids raising rates for our customers regardless of whether they watch the channel.
