Mr. Kroenke is also partial owner of the St. Louis Rams (NFL) and Colorado Crush (AFL).
Altitude does, however air two replays of most games on game night and the following morning and will re-broadcast most of our programming at one or many points in time. Many programs are also available through Video On Demand; to check our upcoming broacast schedule, please click here. You can also contact the various league or schools involved to see whether a duplicate can be made.
Where is Altitude available?
Altitude is available within a 10-State territory of the Rocky Mountain Region including: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Northern New Mexico, Northeast Nevada and Southwest South Dakota.
Availability in these states is based on NBA and NHL territorial restrictions which determine where Avalanche and Nuggets games can be distributed. Outside of the Altitude territory (anywhere in the U.S. that Dish Network or DirecTV service is offered), Altitude is available in regional Sports Packs, however all Avalanche and Nuggets games will be blacked out. All other Altitude programming is available in these areas.
What Channel is Altitude or ALT2 On?
Due to scheduling conflicts and national television deals, some games may occasionally air on Altitude's second channel, ALT2. For Altitude 2 listings and information, click here.
Do I have to get Altitude to see the Avalanche and/or Nuggets play?
Altitude is the official television home of the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets. With the exception of nationally broadcast games, Altitude is the only place you can watch Avalanche and Nuggets games. Outside of the teams' territories you may also be able to see Avalanche games on NHL Center Ice or Nuggets games on NBA League Pass. Check with you local cable or satellite provider to see if these packages are available in your area.
Colorado Avalanche games are available in the following areas: Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas (except for Kansas City), Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Northern New Mexico and Northeastern Nevada. Denver Nuggets games are available in the following areas: Colorado, Wyoming (except for Evanston), Nebraska, Kansas, Northern New Mexico and Southwestern South Dakota. Collegiate game blackouts are determined on a game by game basis.
What happens if there is a Nuggets game and an Avalanche game scheduled at the same time?
If you are in an area that receives both Avalanche and Nuggets games, Altitude will carry one game on the regular channel and will offer the other game on an additional Altitude channel called Alt 2. Please click herefor more information on the Alt 2 channel. If you are in a territory that cannot receive the Avalanche you will receive the Nuggets game, and if you are in a territory that cannot receive the Nuggets you will receive the Avalanche game.
Why is the game I want to watch blacked out?
The NHL, NBA, and some college conferences place territorial restrictions on the distribution of certain teams or games. Altitude and its cable/satellite distributors must follow these mandated territorial restrictions, which is why you may not receive a specific game, depending on your location.
Is Altitude available in high definition format?
Yes. This season, Altitude will provide 40 Avalanche games and 40 Nuggets games in high definition. Click hereto visit our HD Channels page or please check with your local cable/satellite provider to determine if Altitude in HD is available in your market.
Is Altitude available on Video-On-Demand?
Yes. Altitude provides VOD programming to all affiliates. Please check with your local cable provider to determine if VOD is available in your area, and if they distribute Altitude in VOD.
