DENDude 184 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Altitude Sports & Entertainment has been dropped by Dish Network as of Midnight August 28th , as of 5pm today (8/31) AT&T/DirecTV dropped the network & later on tonight Comcast will drop it as well, folks are asking why they don't offer streaming services, but the network hasn't replied. It will be interesting to see how long these sports teams remain off the air or if a new deal will happen. They are the exclusive home to the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Mammoth, & University of Denver Pioneers Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse & Swimming. https://www.altitudesports.com/pages/dont-block-my-altitude/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article provides more detail on what's going on. https://www.denverpost.com/2019/08/28/altitude-sports-contracts-nuggets-avalanche/amp/ Worth noting that unlike Fox and Comcast which streams their RSNs through YouTubeTV, Hulu, etc., Altitude doesn't. Seems like they're taking a very backwards approach to a rapidly changing industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they're taking a very backwards approach to a rapidly changing industry. When are some of these companies that are resistant to change going to wake up and realize that streamming is the future? Clearly Stan Kroenke hates streamming and yet he's building a futuristic-type NFL stadium for the Rams and Chargers in the Los Angeles area (Inglewood to be more specific). Hypocracy much?

Who's gonna cut him a break? Everybody wants a piece of his pie. Seems Hulu and Youtube have alliances already in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB4TV 330 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I wonder, if anyone, will cave first as Comcast & DISH have business interest in Metro Denver while AT&T owns Altitude's competitor, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain. Let's see what happens when games begin in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 184 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 This was posted earlier this evening (Fri 10/18)... Maybe the Colorado Avalanche will get some deal soon too. It's the first time since the 2001/2002 season that the Nuggets have aired on Over the air TV in Denver. In the 2002/2003 season they aired on Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain (Now AT&T Sports Net Rocky Mountain). KTVD originally carried the Denver Nuggets from 1995-2002. https://www.9news.com/article/sports/nba/denver-nuggets/denver-nuggets-home-opener-ktvd/73-16db1ccf-4866-40ee-99df-fb84d0643eb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I see that the "genius" at Altitude, Matt Hutchings, was also in charge of the ill-fated CSN Houston earlier in the decade. Hutchings cannot get a carriage deal done if one bit him in the behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
