Altitude-Comcast lawsuit: Settlement conference scheduled for late February

The timeline for potentially ending the local television blackout of Avalanche and Nuggets games on Comcast is beginning to take shape.

Legal teams from Altitude TV and the state’s largest cable provider will meet for a settlement conference on Feb. 23, according to online court records. The conference, mediated by U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty, is scheduled to achieve resolution for an antitrust lawsuit that dates back to November 2019 — shortly after the Kroenke-owned Avalanche, Nuggets and Rapids games were pulled from Comcast.

Earlier this month, Altitude updated its position in negotiations with the cable giant with plans for a revised contract proposal.
