Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies are facing a crisis that could force them to find a new broadcast partner.바카라사이트

The Denver Post, a leading Colorado media outlet, cited sources on Oct. 6 as saying that AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, the Rockies’ primary broadcaster, is shutting down.

According to the report, the broadcaster has informed employees that it plans to operate the station only through October 6, local time.

This was not unexpected. Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns AT&T SportsNet, previously notified teams in March of its intentions to terminate their rights deals.

In addition to Colorado, they had broadcast rights deals with the Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Seattle Mariners. With Seattle, they have a joint venture with the club to create a broadcaster.

The Colorado club now needs to find a new broadcast partner for the 2024 season.

According to the Denver Post, the team has two options.

The first is to find a new partner. They suggested Altitude Sports & Entertainment, which holds the rights to the Nuggets (NBA), Avalanche (NHL), Rapids (MLS), and Mammoths (lacrosse), among other Colorado-based teams.

Altitude Sports & Entertainment is owned by entrepreneur Stan Cronky. Cronkie is the owner of several Colorado-based sports teams that the company has broadcast rights to. He is also known as the owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and the English Premier League’s Arsenal.

Another option is to broadcast your own games through a streaming service without a rights deal. This is currently the case with fellow division team the San Diego Padres.
