If puck drops on Oct. 3 and Altitude Sports still hasn’t agreed to renew deals with their three biggest distributors – Comcast, Dish and DIRECTV – what options do Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets fans have to watch broadcasts?
The two biggest distributors that still carry Altitude Sports are Charter Communications and CenturyLink Prism TV. Viewers with those carriers can still watch the Kroenke-owned network.
Besides those two options, there are 21 independent networks still carrying Altitude that reach states from Colorado to Wyoming to Nebraska to Montana.
Outside of that, options are limited, though one person familiar with negotiations stressed the network was researching all options as the regular-season openers inch closer for both franchises.
