The stalemate has gotten worse for Avalanche and Nuggets fans. Many still cannot regularly watch their team on television, and now all home games at Ball Arena are played before empty seats. With both Kroenke Sports & Entertainment franchises’ seasons now underway, the regional sports network (RSN) that carries their games, Altitude TV, remains unavailable to Comcast and Dish Network subscribers. There does not appear to be an end in sight to the 17-month long impasse, either, with no new developments in negotiations, according to Ken Miller, Altitude’s executive vice president and executive producer. In the case of the Avalanche, Altitude is scheduled to exclusively broadcast 50 of 56 games this season, with NBC Sports carrying the other six. Altitude’s previous contracts with DirecTV, Comcast and Dish expired within a week of each other in August 2019.
