Sports streaming platform FuboTV will increase its presence in the Rocky Mountain broadcast market with the addition of the Altitude Sports network to its digital lineup.
Altitude Sports is the Denver area’s leading regional network, offering coverage of the Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche for 69 regular season games and the NBA’s Denver Nuggets for 74 regular season games. As part of the deal, Altitude Sports will be accessible to FuboTV subscribers in 10 Rocky Mountain states.
FuboTV uses its proprietary data and technology platform to livestream every Nielson-rated sports channel in the U.S., including close to 15 regional sports networks similar to Altitude. FuboTV also operates a Fubo Sportsbook app in Iowa, Arizona and most recently New Jersey, but likely will not do the same in Colorado after recently adjusting its betting strategy due to the economic environment.
Due to it Q2 earnings report released in August, the company said it would no longer pursue operating its own independent online sportsbook. Still, with the addition of Altitude Sports, FuboTV’s breadth of coverage in Colorado now has NHL and NBA broadcasts to go with ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, the Pac-12 Networks and also Telemundo and Univision affiliates in Denver and Colorado Springs-Pueblo.
