A 15-year partnership dissolved Saturday evening, as the long-running deal between Altitude Sports and two of their major distributors, Comcast and DIRECTV, expired.
Despite recent talks between the two sides, there was no deal in place as of Sunday morning. One person familiar with negotiations described the two sides as “not close.”
Earlier this week Altitude Sports, the Kroenke-owned regional sports network of the Nuggets, Avalanche and Rapids, among others, was dropped by DISH Network.
There remains the possibility, however remote, that the split could jeopardize fans’ ability to watch the preseason and season openers of their respective teams.
