Denver Sports Broadcasting Woes Continue

In the Mile High City, fans of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche are facing a frustrating reality: it's still a struggle to catch their favorite teams in action on TV. The ongoing blackout for Comcast's Xfinity and DISH Network customers has left many fans in the dark, unable to watch their teams rise to the top of their leagues. The root of the issue lies in disputes between Altitude Sports, the network owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, and the cable providers, reflecting a larger problem in the regional sports broadcasting industry. As cord-cutting becomes more prevalent, these disagreements are becoming all too common, hindering the teams' ability to attract new fans. Despite efforts to find a solution, including discussions of streaming options and local broadcast deals, the blackout persists, leaving fans frustrated and underserved. The broken sports broadcasting model is evident, with regional networks struggling to make ends meet as viewership declines. The situation is reminiscent of the recent bankruptcy of Diamond Sports Group, highlighting the challenges facing the industry. As the battle between millionaires and billionaires rages on, it's the working-class fans who are left in the lurch, wondering when they will be treated with the respect they deserve. In the midst of this turmoil, state Sen. Kyle Mullica's call for unity and respect for fans rings true, urging the parties involved to prioritize the fans above all else. Until a resolution is reached, Denver sports fans will continue to face an uphill battle to catch their teams in action.
