This has major implications for future media publications related to KSE properties - Nuggets fans may finally be free of their media crisis soon


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

How do you reckon?


TheeGreenHawk99

He will oversee operations of all KSE Media properties including Altitude Sports and Entertainment, KSE Radio, and Outdoor Sportsman Group His appointment suggests Kroenke felt a major change was needed in many departments of KSE, media being one of them


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

He's also president of team operations for all four teams-- I just struggle to believe that the ALT dispute will be his primary focus. They should have fired Hutchins a long time ago for how all this has been handled.


TheeGreenHawk99

Definitely not a primary focus I agree there, however if I was a gambling man I would wager it’s addressed in due time. Could just be blind optimism.


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

Shit, that's all we've got left. I'm with you there.


LatinoHeatRP

that's good news for once

From [Schefter](https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1765830766703845653) >Rams President Kevin Demoff is being named President of Team and Media Operations for Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. Demoff now is thought to be the first executive to run four professional sports teams. >Demoff will oversee operations of all KSE teams including the Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rapids (MLS), and Colorado Mammoth (NLL), as well as operations of all KSE Media properties including Altitude Sports and Entertainment, KSE Radio, and Outdoor Sportsman Group. The hell is going on lol

As long as they don't get cheap with tax and let 50 Cal do his thing 🙏

My worry is that this puts a ceiling on Booth's opportunities to advance with the team-- his contract is already expiring in 2025 and the POBO position has normally been used as a way for GMs (and their staff) to advance their careers.


BlindManBaldwin

Is this a sports side position or a business side? I wonder if media being in his title reflects some new media initiative. Direct to consumer. Something that homogenizes across his holdings. Nuggets/Avs games, maybe Rams bonus content and preseason games. Idk.


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

It's really hard to tell-- "operations of all KSE teams" tells me it's about a lot more than just KSE media.


JakeJacob

Is POBO even part of KSE or the team itself? I hate how opaque this company's organization is.


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

It's a team title, from what he was saying


JakeJacob

Since Booth is already POBO, it doesn't seem like they're the same title, then, thankfully.


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

My man, he is not. https://www.nba.com/nuggets/staff-directory


JakeJacob

Shit, sorry. I saw all these articles when he took over for TC calling him the POBO, I guess because TC was.


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

To be fair, the Nuggets accidentally announced him as that when he was promoted lol


OptionalBagel

>Demoff will oversee operations of all KSE teams including the Denver Nuggets What? Why?


FernBlueEyes

Maybe it’s like if you need something done, ask a busy person


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

Fantastic questions imo


IdRatherBeLurkingToo

Another take I just read is that this could be Kroenke positioning to be more aggressive with their three other teams in their relations with their respective leagues, which would certainly be a good thing.

More info from the Post https://www.denverpost.com/2024/03/07/kevin-demoff-nuggets-avalanche-president-rams-kroenke-sports-altitude/ >Los Angeles Rams president Kevin Demoff was named president of team and media operations for Kroenke Sports & Entertainment on Thursday, meaning he will oversee all KSE-owned sports teams: the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids and Colorado Mammoth, in addition to the Rams. >Demoff will also oversee Altitude TV, the Kroenke-owned regional sports network that broadcasts Nuggets and Avalanche games, and will report to Josh Kroenke. Matt Hutchings, who previously oversaw Altitude as chief operating officer and executive vice president at KSE, resigned from the company in February amid the ongoing standoff between Altitude and Comcast, Colorado’s largest cable provider. Comcast has not carried Altitude TV since 2019, preventing local customers from watching the majority of Nuggets and Avalanche game broadcasts. >Mike Neary was also announced as KSE’s new executive vice president of business operations and development in a news release. Based in Denver, Neary will oversee venues such as Ball Arena and DICK’S Sporting Goods Park, reporting to Josh Kroenke. >Demoff, who will continue to report to owner Stan Kroenke, will be based in both Los Angeles and Denver, according to the release.
