News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part III

[akadubin]

There is no way Altitude gets less viewership than ATT's RMRSN, and yet they keep them around just fine. Only game/team they cover is the Rockies, and they suck for 5½ months, and then they have 6½ months of poker and infomercials.

ATT RMRSN also covers Jazz and Golden Knights too.

So Avs are currently not getting money from Comcast or Dish, yet they are still broadcasting hockey and doing everything as usual and seem to be doing fine. Why not just take the deal from Comcast and Dish and get some money instead of no money?

That's a great question. The answer is probably that they are ok holding out in the short term in order to try to leverage a longer term/favorable deal.

KSE is it's "own" entity, so to speak, but it can be propped up by it's billionaire owner for a while.

They would kill their own market.

Not in Denver.

For the most part I really like the current Altitude crew and would hate to get a whole new one.

You don't take a dollar handout from the boss you're suing for wrongful termination.

Lauren, JML, Rycroft, McNab, McGahey, and even Keefe (although really annoying with the Altitude tv deal stuff) are amazing.

because Stan’s LA Rams $5 Billion Stadium has become the $6 Billion stadium.

Yeah she is.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

We’d have to find a blonde Lauren

 

[wayninja]

I remember that. Crazy infectious.

I remember that. Crazy infectious.

Kept me giggling and smiling during the darkest days of the Avs. That’s all I could really ask for back then.

 

[Avalanche]

Is there anything she can't do?

 

[John Mandalorian]

Did anyone see Greg Wyshniski's recent blurb about the Avs?

He's from Maryland and works for ESPN so it's ok that he focuses on Bura? ESPN is so pathetic sometimes. Why not discuss Nischuskin instead? Seriously ESPN hires so much fat headed east coast trash.

 

[Avalanche]

Has Wysh ever wrote anything positive about the Avs?

Dude is still steamed over 2001

Nice pipes.

 

[sethro109]

Nice pipes.

That was a lot better than I expected. I wouldn't mind if she replaced Schroeder.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Nice pipes.

she's actually got some good vocals. i hate our national anthem...it's impossible to sing for the average person. it's awesome she can sing in that the register.
given my choice, america the beautiful would be our anthem. the majority of people can actually sing along with it. i've always been jealous canada with their anthem. it's so easy to sing along, it makes me want to have dual citizenship, but i doubt they would want me.

Yes, but actually he kinda likes the team right now. He's made note of them being good.

Neither would I.
