Altitude Sports

I agree.   If Comcast drops Altitude, I will have no reason at all to subscribe to Comcast.  I will happily drop the service entirely.  I can get internet service for half the price, and can rely entirely on Netflix, YouTube and Hulu for my TV.

Hello, I hear that Altitude TV may be blocked come this Sunday due to you not renewing a contract with them. The whole reason I have cable is so I can watch Altitude Sports which carries the Colorado Avalanche hockey team and Denver Nuggets basketball team. If you do not agree with Altitude to a new contract and you do not carry Altitude anymore I wil cancel my services ASAP. Why would I pay for something that I don't get anymore? No logic in that. Im not sure who is charge of this but whoever is you need to let them know that a lot of people in Colorado will be angry and cancel Xfinity if this happens.

Hi Amerrycan, thank you for your feedback regarding Altitude TV. We regularly examine our channel lineups and talk with a wide range of programmers to ensure that we are bringing the content that our customers want the most. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking time to reach out to us.

Comcast needs to resolve the contract issues with Altitude TV so that we do no lose access to the channel. My handicapped brother is a huge Rockies fan and the highlight of his day is watching his beloved Rockies. Unfortunately neither Comcast nor Altitude care about the impact on their customers, even though their customers are the ones paying to keep their companies afloat.

Time for these companies to take a good look at how their actions impact the very people that have helped these companies thrive.

The Rockies are on AT&T Sportsnet.  You will not be affected by this if you are only worried about the Rockies.

I wish to express my concern that Xfinity is dropping Altitude TV here in Denver, Colorado. The only reason I have cable is so I can watch my Nuggets. If Xfinity drops Altitude I will no longer need cable. Please do not drop Altitude.

If Comcast drops AltitudeTV I will go with the provider that does provide AltitudeTV and if I have to go to the internet I will as all that you offer, can be seen numerous ways . Actually I should say thank you for helping me cut the cord if I have to.

Hello All, 

Thank you for using the Xfinity Forums to share your feedback regarding Altitude Sports. Our programming agreement with Altitude expired on Aug. 31. As a result, we no longer have the rights to carry their content. We made an offer in line with the value of their programming, but they didn’t accept it. We want to be able to offer Altitude to our customers, but only at a reasonable price. We hope that we will be able to carry Altitude again soon. Every contract includes a certain package of channels and services at a fixed price for the stated period of time. But during the term of the contract, specific channels may be added, changed, or removed for a variety of reasons, including the launch of popular new channels or changes in the popularity of existing channels. In this case, we removed Altitude from your programming package, because we no longer have permission from Altitude to carry it. While this change won’t cause prices to go down on existing packages, it will help reduce the speed at which they go up. The cost of programming generally continues to rise, which affects customers’ bills. In fact, our programming costs have more than doubled since 2006. 

Altitude has exclusive in-market broadcast rights for the Avalanche, Nuggets, Rapids, and Mammoth, so there aren’t many alternate viewing options available. You can watch nationally televised Nuggets games on ESPN, NBA TV, or TNT. You can watch nationally televised Avalanche games on NHL Network, Fox Sports or NBC Sports Network. You can also watch AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, which has Colorado Rockies, Mountain West Conference, and Big Sky Conference games. I hope this helps.
