The recent move to renew the franchise between the city of Denver and Comcast has already caught the attention of some Denver-area sports fans.
The recent move to renew the franchise between the city and Comcast has already caught the attention of some Denver-area sports fans.
David Pflueger, a Golden resident, decries the decision due to Comcast’s lack of local sports coverage. He argued that “the people want the community benefit” of watching the Avs, the Nuggets and the Colorado Rapids. “It is appalling that our civic leaders don’t act in our best interest and pressure big corporations and sport franchises to give back to the community,” the 59-year-old said Tuesday. With the franchise now renewed, it’s “too bad that this issue wasn’t more in the public spotlight,” he added.
Denver officials reviewed the federal guidelines that govern cable television franchising, and “found that Comcast’s channel offerings are in compliance with the federal requirements which state that providers, such as Comcast, must offer regional sports,” Tesfaye said.
