Kroenke Sports & Entertainment announced a broadcast rights agreement for Altitude Sports with TEGNA for 20 Denver Nuggets games and 20 Colorado Avalanche games to be shown for free over-the-air on Denver’s 9NEWS (KUSA-TV) and My20 (KTVD-TV).
A new subscription-based direct-to-consumer platform coming in October, Altitude+, will offer Nuggets and Avalanche games not exclusive to a national network. The Altitude Sports network will continue to carry local games for subscribers of DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, and Spectrum TV.
“Thanks to the vision and creativity of my father and our leadership team, the hard work of many across this organization, and a tremendous partner in TEGNA, we are thrilled to deliver a comprehensive solution so that our fans can watch all Nuggets and Avs games this season and beyond,” said Josh Kroenke, KSE vice chairman in a release.
“As we embark on the 25th season of Ball Arena and not only celebrate the past but look toward the future, it is fitting that we introduce the next evolution of our Altitude Sports network that includes Altitude+ and games on 9NEWS and My20. Thanks to this innovative model, our fans can be with us every step of the way this season in our quest to bring both the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy and the Stanley Cup back to Denver.”
