- The Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, both championship contenders, are facing a blackout of their playoff games on the Xfinity cable provider due to an ongoing contract dispute between Xfinity and Scripps media, which owns the local ABC affiliate airing some of the postseason games.
- This is the latest in a series of regional sports broadcasting challenges for Denver fans, coming just 15 months after the Altitude channel was restored to Xfinity following a nearly six-year blackout.
- Fans will need to explore alternative options like digital antennas, streaming services, or the ESPN Unlimited app to watch the blacked-out playoff games, highlighting the need for more consumer-friendly solutions in the complex landscape of regional sports broadcasting rights.
