For
the past three years, Comcast has elected not to carry Altitude Sports &
Entertainment, thereby denying hundreds of thousands of fans the ability to
watch the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Rapids, Colorado
Mammoth, local high schools, and college teams in the Rocky Mountain region. In
the process, the fans of the Rocky Mountain Region have been deprived of the
joy of watching historic individual achievements and championship runs on one
of their hometown regional sports networks.
They do so even in the face
of DIRECTV and Altitude Sports reaching an agreement as of October 31, 2019, to
broadcast all these teams.
Comcast continues to remain
steadfast in its use of hardball tactics, in hopes of making more money for
themselves and making our fans suffer by missing out on the NBA, NHL, MLS, and
NLL seasons. This is simply unacceptable. The hypocrisy is stunning. Comcast
owns seven similar sports networks across the country and continues to carry
them and provide them to its customers. Comcast claims that it is protecting
its customers, all the while continuing to charge them for a regional sports
network that they no longer make available to them.
We hope Comcast will come to
its senses and listen to its customers and our fans, who deserve to watch their
hometown teams amid these special seasons.
Therefore, Altitude is
teaming up with sports fans across its 10-state territory to demand that
Comcast put our Regional Sports Network back on the air immediately. Please
sign our petition and forward the link to fellow sports fans.
One of the main reasons I signed up for additional channels was to get the Altitude channel. And Altitude, how much money have both of you lost so far? I would be happy to pay a couple of extra dollars to get these games. Why sink to this level?
