Insights
TEGNA extends valuable local sports broadcasting deal, strengthening regional position and audience reach in the Denver market.
TEGNA has renewed its strategic broadcasting partnership with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, securing rights to air 20 Denver Nuggets and 20 Colorado Avalanche games free over-the-air on its Denver stations. This renewal follows what appears to be a successful first year, with the press release noting "last season's overwhelming community response" and viewership that "exceeded expectations."
The deal represents a significant content acquisition for TEGNA's Denver stations 9NEWS (KUSA-TV) and My20 (KTVD-TV), giving them access to premium local sports content that reaches approximately 3.5 million people in the Denver metro area. Local sports programming is particularly valuable in today's fragmented media landscape as it delivers consistent live viewership—something increasingly rare in the streaming era.
From a strategic perspective, this partnership strengthens TEGNA's position in the Denver market by associating its stations with popular local teams. Last season, the deal allowed TEGNA to broadcast playoff games for both teams, which typically generate higher viewership. The agreement provides TEGNA with programming that can drive advertising revenue through guaranteed live audiences that are difficult to replicate with other content.
While financial terms weren't disclosed, the renewal suggests the initial partnership delivered sufficient value for both parties to extend their arrangement. For TEGNA, securing exclusive over-the-air rights to these games provides a competitive advantage against other local broadcasters and creates cross-promotion opportunities across their platforms.
Altitude+ Continues to Offer Locally Broadcast Games
DENVER and TYSONS, Va., Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) today announced the extension of its successful agreement with TEGNA (NYSE: TGNA) to broadcast 20 Denver Nuggets games and 20 Colorado Avalanche games for free over-the-air on Denver’s 9NEWS (KUSA-TV) and My20 (KTVD-TV).
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring this fan-first partnership with TEGNA back for another year,” said Kevin Demoff, president of team and media operations, KSE. “Last season’s overwhelming community response to this partnership reinforced our commitment to ensuring that the fans who support the Nuggets and Avs can cheer on their favorite teams even when they can’t be with us at Ball Arena.”
The broadcast agreement with TEGNA Denver stations 9NEWS and My20 will enable nearly 3.5 million people in the Denver metro area to access games for free over-the-air. Last season, millions of viewers tuned in to the stations to watch the Nuggets advance to the NBA’s Western Conference Semifinals and the Avalanche earn their place in the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. This season, a total of 40 games from the two hometown teams will air on KTVD, with five Nuggets games and five Avalanche games broadcast simultaneously on 9NEWS, Denver’s NBC affiliate and sports powerhouse.
“After last year’s tremendous success as the official over-the-air broadcast home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, we’re excited to continue this partnership for another season,” said Mark Cornetta, senior vice president, media operations, TEGNA. “The response last year exceeded our expectations, and we’re proud to once again provide Denver fans with the ability to watch their beloved Nuggets and Avs play.”
Games airing on 9NEWS and My20 will continue to be produced by Altitude Sports and will feature the same fan-favorite talent, with Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Vic Lombardi, Katy Winge, and Christopher Dempsey on Nuggets coverage, and Marc Moser, Mark Rycroft, John-Michael Liles, Kyle Keefe, and Rachel Tos for Avs games.
