News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part VI

There's a problem with DirecTV? I haven't experienced it, Altitude pipes in just fine.

IDK. Some people on that X thread were saying they were blacked out on DirecTV.

That is pretty stupid. I watched the game on free TV with an antenna but don't understand why having it on free TV means you black out the paid channel? Feels like another money grab by KSE since they need to win over advertisers by juicing ratings on the free TV games.

A rep for KSE fell on his sword and took responsibility for whatever it was, I can’t find the tweet.

So the deal was channel 20 not 9 News?

Nuggets postgame shows are a little different now (I don't think they did this last year but I could be wrong), they roll out the couches and treat it like a late night talk show instead of standing behind the usual desk. They also take questions from fans at the game and other things. I wasn't thrilled about them bringing out D-Mac (who apparently pulverized his face in a biking accident) but other than that it was a very interesting way to do it. Wonder if the Avs crew will try it.

Oh now I see what they did. They built a new set on-site at Ball Arena, so THAT’s how they have a live audience and the whole late night talk show setup for both Avs and Nuggets games.

RIP Joe's hair. Yikes.

Yeah, been happening for a while now. He used to have quite the lettuce back in the day.
