Avalanche home game vs. Predators to be broadcast locally as Altitude TV negotiations linger with Comcast, Dish

With Altitude TV yet to come to an agreement with two of the big three television distributors, the network announced it would show Thursday night’s Avalanche home game against the Nashville Predators locally on KTVD (Channel 20).

Altitude reached an agreement with DirecTV to carry the regional sports network Oct. 31, two months after it went off the air when its contract lapsed in late August. The network has been unable to reach a deal with Dish Network or Comcast, whose contracts with Altitude expired during the same week.

“Avs fans once again have the opportunity to watch Avalanche games on DirecTV for the sixteenth consecutive season,” Kroenke Sports Entertainment COO Matt Hutchings said in a news release.
