After almost six years, the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche are back on Comcast.
“We could not be more thrilled to join Comcast and the Xfinity lineup,” Kevin Demoff, president of team and media operations for Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns the Nuggets and Avalanche, said during a Tuesday morning news conference at Ball Arena.
Demoff announced a deal with Comcast, the largest cable provider in the area, on Tuesday, ending a blackout of nearly six years along the Front Range. KSE officials said Altitude, the regional cable channel that airs the Avs and Nuggets, will begin re-airing on the Comcast-owned Xfinity cable-television service starting Tuesday evening.
Altitude had been off Xfinity since the contract between the two sides expired in September 2019.
Since then, both the Nuggets (2023) and Avalanche (2022) have won championships — titles much of its home audience weren’t able to see.
In October, KSE debuted Altitude+, a direct-to-consumer streaming service. A total of 20 Nuggets games and 20 Avs games this season are to be televised over the air for free on My20 (KTVD-20). Half of those games will also air on KUSA-9, the Denver-area NBC affiliate.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
