Changes are coming to the local Nuggets broadcast.<\/p>\n

Longtime Altitude TV play-by-play announcer Chris Marlowe and color analyst Scott Hastings will no longer call Nuggets games next season as Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, the parent company that owns the Nuggets, Avalanche and Altitude, plans to shake up its talent, four sources familiar with the decision told The Denver Post.<\/p>\n

Marlowe has been calling Nuggets games for Altitude since team owner Stan Kroenke launched the regional sports network in 2004. An Olympic gold medalist as part of the 1984 U.S. men\u2019s volleyball team, he has also been the lead play-by-play guy for beach volleyball at seven Olympics, most recently for NBC in 2024. He was named Colorado Sportscaster of the Year in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll good things must come to an end,\u201d Marlowe said in a statement released on social media. \u201c\u2026 Altitude Sports is moving in a different direction and decided not to renew my contract. It has been a wonderful 22-year run, and I want to thank everyone who was there along the way, especially the fans. I\u2019m not retiring and this is not goodbye \u2014 it\u2019s just so long for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hastings has been a Nuggets and Broncos color commentator for various local broadcasts in Denver since 1993, when he retired from an 11-year career in the NBA. Drafted by the Knicks in 1982, the big man spent the last two seasons of his playing career with the Nuggets. Hastings will continue to co-host a sports talk show on Altitude\u2019s radio station, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n

Altitude Nuggets reporter and studio analyst Chris Dempsey was also let go, according to four sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Born in Boulder, he\u2019s a former sports reporter for The Denver Post.<\/p>\n

Katy Winge and Vic Lombardi, two other staples on the Nuggets broadcast, have been retained, according to three of those sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than a decade, Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings and Chris Dempsey have been synonymous with Nuggets basketball, bringing energy, insight and a genuine love of the game to every broadcast,\u201d president of KSE media ventures Steve Smith said in a statement to The Post.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey have been part of many of the most memorable moments in franchise history, including the 2023 championship run, and have helped shape how generations of fans experience Nuggets basketball. Each has been an outstanding ambassador for our organization, leaving a lasting impact on our company, our fans, and the broader Nuggets community.\u201d<\/p>\n
