"At UPN 20 we are committed to local sports teams," stated Greg Armstrong, General Manager of KTVD UPN 20. "As the broadcast home of the Nuggets, Avalanche, Rockies, and Mountain West football and baseball the Colorado Eagles were a perfect fit into our coverage and working with the Eagles organization makes strategic sense as well."

"We (the Eagles organization) view this partnership as one with great future potential, and we look forward to airing more games on UPN 20 in seasons to come."
