Denver opted to renew its cable television franchise with telecommunications company Comcast Corp. through the end of 2028.
With the previous franchise set to expire this December, the city recently renewed its franchise for another five years, said marketing and communications manager Gaelina Tesfaye at Denver Technology Services, the city’s technology department. The new expiration is now scheduled for December 2028.
Comcast has bore the brunt of criticism in recent years as its Denver customers have been forced to forgo watching the Colorado Avalanche and the Denver Nuggets since 2019. The blame largely falls on a stalemate between Comcast and Altitude TV, which broadcasts both teams.
