In the never-ending saga between Altitude Sports and Comcast/DISH Network, the Kroenke-owned network has announced that they have waived their exclusive broadcast rights for both the Avalanche and Nugget’s first-round playoff runs.
“Altitude, by virtue of a multiyear agreement with the NHL, has agreed to waive its exclusive broadcast rights in Denver for the first round of the Avalanche’s playoff run. Under NBA rules, Altitude has also waived its exclusivity for Nugget’s first-round playoff games.”
Effectively, this means that first-round Avalanche playoff games, that will be shown nationally on NBCSN, NHL Network, and CNBC, will be available throughout the Denver metro area.
