Altitude TV Schedule Released

PrintThe Altitude schedule has been released. You can view the whole season schedule here (pdf). 79 of the 82 games will be broadcast on Altitude (with the other 3 games being the 3 Versus games we listed yesterday). ALL games are slated to be broadcast in HD and 10 of the 79 will be on ALT 2.
A couple of other notes:
Mike Haynes and Peter McNab will return as the play-by-play and color analysts for all of the Colorado Avalanche broadcasts. Kyle Keefe will return as sideline reporter for all Avalanche home games and will serve as studio host along with Peter Ruttgaizer. Brian Engblom and Mark Rycroft will be the postgame color analysts for the Avalanche Locker Room Report and Julie Browman will contribute regular reports throughout the Avalanche season. On the radio side, Marc Moser will return as the play-by-play analyst for all Avalanche games this season.
Looks like things are pretty much the same, although no Browman in the studio if I'm reading that right.
And...
Altitude will broadcast a one-hour live pregame special on Thursday October 1st from 7:00-8:00 p.m. that will cover Joe Sakic’s retirement ceremony.
I'm quite confused about when the actual ceremony will take place. The NHL lists the game as starting at 10 eastern. Versus (who has the game exclusively) mentioned covering the ceremony prominently in their press release yesterday, but also have 7pm game to broadcast. Do we assume the Sakic festivities will start at 9:30 eastern and Altitude and Versus will show it (7pm MT = 9pm ET)? Or is the Altitude deal a "pregame" type thing with the Sakic retirement party taking place after, starting at 8 MT / 10 ET? Again, I'm sure we'll all get to see it, but the details remain a little light at this point.

For the love of all that is good and decent
Get rid of Ruttgaizer. And Browman, for that matter, but since she doesn’t do much Avs stuff, she doesn’t bother me as badly. I can’t stand Ruttgaizer, though.
Here’s my suggestion – put Haynes back on the radio, and hire Tori Holt from the Colorado Eagles to do the TV side of things. Jones and Moser are adequate, but I’d much rather have Haynes/Jones on radio and Holt/McNab on TV.

At least Engblom will be back. Mullet aside, I like his commentary. He’s the only one tf the bunch who has ever even been mildly critical of the avs, probably cause he has better jobs elsewhere and so can say it like it is with no fear for money.
Get rid of the loser point
08-09 Avs- can we decline the penalty?
By the way
Dater is saying that he thinks radio broadcasts will be just Moser, not Moser and Jones.

yeah, I’m not familiar with the radio stuff at all, but the pertinent part of the press release quoted above makes no mention of Jones.

they’ve amended the press release to include this about Norm Jones
and Norm Jones will be the studio analyst and reporter.
ok then

Away Games
Away games will now be in HD? Super cool. I never understood why only home games were HD. The Altitude site said something about not being able to broadcast HD from other arenas. It sounded like BS to me, since the home teams were probably broadcasting in HD (except in Detroit of course, where HD stands for homeless Detroit-ian).

I didn’t think you could live in Detroit and actually have a home?
MHH: Like the Avs organization, we’ve now officially lost our minds.
