The Denver Nuggets have ended their long-standing relationship with TV broadcasters Scott Hastings and Chris Marlowe, as confirmed by Marlowe's social media announcement. This change is part of a significant overhaul at Altitude Sports, the team's regional sports network, which also resulted in the dismissal of team reporter Chris Dempsey. Marlowe’s contract, which spanned 22 years, was not renewed, while Hastings will remain with Altitude's radio network but has not commented publicly on the changes. The Nuggets have not disclosed their plans regarding replacements for these prominent broadcasting roles.

By the Numbers
  • Chris Marlowe called Nuggets games for 22 years.
  • Scott Hastings played 11 NBA seasons, including two final seasons with the Nuggets.
State of Play
  • Altitude Sports is reconfiguring its broadcast team amidst ongoing changes.
  • Katy Winge and Vic Lombardi, current hosts and reporters, will remain with the network.
What's Next

The Nuggets will soon announce their plans regarding new broadcasters to fill these key positions, aiming to maintain continuity in their game coverage. Fans and the organization alike are eager to see how the void left by these experienced voices will be addressed.

Bottom Line

This shakeup marks the end of an era for the Nuggets' broadcast team, highlighting the evolving nature of sports media. The organization will need to carefully select new commentators who can resonate with longtime fans while also bringing fresh energy to the team's coverage for the upcoming season.
