DENVER - Today, Governor Polis released the following statement on the deal between Altitude Sports and Comcast, allowing more Coloradans to watch the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche.
“After far too long a wait, Comcast and Altitude are finally putting Coloradans first, allowing us to watch our world-class Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche. This means that more Colorado fans and kids can grow up watching the greatness of players like Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Nathan McKinnon, Cale Makar and many others without their families jumping through hoops. I’m so excited that this new deal means getting to watch and cheer on our incredible Colorado teams,” said Governor Jared Polis.
In 2019, Governor Polis sent a letter to Jim Martin, then President and CEO of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, encouraging the company to reach a deal allowing Coloradans to watch their favorite teams at home on DISH and Comcast and has had several follow-up conversations with both sides.
