Altitude+ Continues to Offer Locally Broadcast Games

DENVER and TYSONS, Va., Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) today announced the extension of its successful agreement with TEGNA (NYSE: TGNA) to broadcast 20 Denver Nuggets games and 20 Colorado Avalanche games for free over-the-air on Denver’s 9NEWS (KUSA-TV) and My20 (KTVD-TV).

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring this fan-first partnership with TEGNA back for another year,” said Kevin Demoff, president of team and media operations, KSE. “Last season’s overwhelming community response to this partnership reinforced our commitment to ensuring that the fans who support the Nuggets and Avs can cheer on their favorite teams even when they can’t be with us at Ball Arena.”

The broadcast agreement with TEGNA Denver stations 9NEWS and My20 will enable nearly 3.5 million people in the Denver metro area to access games for free over-the-air. Last season, millions of viewers tuned in to the stations to watch the Nuggets advance to the NBA’s Western Conference Semifinals and the Avalanche earn their place in the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. This season, a total of 40 games from the two hometown teams will air on KTVD, with five Nuggets games and five Avalanche games broadcast simultaneously on 9NEWS, Denver’s NBC affiliate and sports powerhouse.

“After last year’s tremendous success as the official over-the-air broadcast home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, we’re excited to continue this partnership for another season,” said Mark Cornetta, senior vice president, media operations, TEGNA. “The response last year exceeded our expectations, and we’re proud to once again provide Denver fans with the ability to watch their beloved Nuggets and Avs play.”

Games airing on 9NEWS and My20 will continue to be produced by Altitude Sports and will feature the same fan-favorite talent, with Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Vic Lombardi, Katy Winge, and Christopher Dempsey on Nuggets coverage, and Marc Moser, Mark Rycroft, John-Michael Liles, Kyle Keefe, and Rachel Tos for Avs games.
