A proposed law, spurred by the ongoing dispute between Altitude TV and Comcast, to require professional sports networks and cable providers to submit to arbitration to avoid prolonged blackouts was abandoned Thursday.
at the request of sponsor Rep. Kyle Mullica, a Northglenn Democrat.
Mullica said he requested that the bill be postponed indefinitely because Altitude TV and Comcast are scheduled to meet for mediation in June and lawmakers wanted to give them an opportunity to fix the issue. The mediation efforts between the two entities are nearing five months since the regional sports network announced it would make a revised contract offer to the cable giant. They are next scheduled to meet June 2, according to the latest online court filings. It is unknown when Altitude last made a contract proposal to Comcast.
The Altitude-Comcast blackout started in September 2019 when the contract expired, resulting in Colorado subscribers missing full seasons of Avalanche, Nuggets and Rapids games on local TV broadcasts.
