Altitude TV Resolving Dispute with Comcast: A Major Relief for Denver Sports Fans
The longstanding conflict between Altitude TV and Comcast has finally been resolved. This means that Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche fans throughout Colorado and neighboring states can resume watching their local teams on the Xfinity TV platform.
Avalanche and Nuggets Ownership Rejoice
Avalanche and Nuggets ownership, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), and Comcast announced on Tuesday that Altitude Sports is making a comeback on Xfinity TV for all customers. Josh Kroenke, KSE’s vice chairman, expressed his delight, stating, “We are thrilled to once again make Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche games available on Comcast and Xfinity platforms in Colorado and the surrounding region. This is the best possible outcome for Nuggets Nation and Avs Faithful, who now have a straightforward way to see every game on one service.”
Changes to Service and Packages
As of now, viewers who wish to access Altitude Sports need to subscribe to the More Sports and Entertainment Package, priced at $9.99. This deal will rise to $15.95 in April 2023. Besides Altitude Sports, this package includes channels like the Big Ten Network, CBS Sports, ESPN News, ESPNU, MLB, NFL, and NHL Network, alongside NFL Redzone.
Access to Altitude Sports Remains Unchanged
The resolution doesn’t affect Altitude Sports’ availability on other platforms. Fans can still tune into the channel on the Altitude+ streaming app, which made its debut last fall. Furthermore, the planned free over-the-air broadcasts on stations 9News and My20 will continue as planned.
Background of the Dispute
The disagreement between Comcast and KSE began back in August 2019. Despite a temporary break during the COVID-19 pandemic, the two parties were unable to resolve the conflict, even as the Colorado Avalanche claimed the Stanley Cup and the Denver Nuggets clinched the NBA championship. The stalemate lingered for more than two years.
This resolution not only lifts a significant burden off local sports fans but also signals a return to business as usual for Altitude Sports and Comcast. Moving forward, Denver sports fans can count on smooth sailing for accessing their favorite games and commentary.
Conclusion: Anticipation Builds for the Future
For avid Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche fans, the news of the resolution brings immense joy and anticipation. The local sports landscape in Colorado will thrive, ensuring that fans can watch their teams on the reliable Xfinity TV platform once more.
This agreement highlights the importance of addressing disputes in a timely manner, not only for the companies involved but also for maintaining a positive fan experience. It also sets a precedent for future collaborations and potential partnerships in the sports broadcasting industry.
Let’s raise a virtual cheer for this positive turn of events! This restoration of service signals a bright future for Denver sports fans.
