Watching the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets just got a lot easier. State of play: The team's owner Kroenke Sports & Entertainment announced a broadcasting rights agreement to air Avs and Nuggets games for free on local stations. - 20 Nuggets games and 20 Avs games will be televised on My20. Ten games will also air on KUSA-9, the local NBC affiliate. TEGNA owns the sister stations.
Why it matters: The deal gives fans the chance to watch two championship-caliber teams at home for the first time in nearly five years. - Games had been blacked out for Comcast subscribers during that time. The local audience can now use a mix of streaming and over-the-air broadcasts to sidestep Comcast.
The intrigue: Altitude Sports will air games on its new streaming service, Altitude+. All games not televised on a national network will be available to stream. - The service will cost $19.95 per month, and is available to download on iOS and Android devices.
Zoom in: The two teams also shared their games scheduled to be aired locally. Between the lines: The app will air regional coverage of Colorado State, University of Denver and Air Force Academy athletics. - The Altitude Sports network will remain available for DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo and Spectrum TV subscribers.
The big picture: Many NBA and NHL teams that are leaving their regional sports networks (RSNs) have opted for a hybrid model that includes over-the-air broadcast stations and streaming, sacrificing revenue to try to reach more fans, Axios' Sara Fischer and Tim Baysinger write. What's next: Nearly 3.5 million people in metro Denver will have access to the games, per an Altitude Sports statement. Tell a sports fan |
