NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Altitude/Comcast impasse blacking out Nuggets games: “It makes no sense”

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has a brother in Boulder, so he hears all the time about the blackouts that continue to prevent Nuggets fans from watching Nuggets games.

Silver said Thursday night before Game 1 of the NBA Finals that he’s frustrated by the “terrible situation” that is the ongoing standoff between Comcast and Altitude TV, the regional sports network that broadcasts Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche games.

“It makes no sense,” Silver said, “and it’s on us to fix it.”

Altitude sued Comcast shortly after its carriage deal lapsed in September 2019, accusing the cable giant of violating antitrust laws.
