It’s official: Lombardi leaving CBS4 for Altitude

Altitude Sports made it official Thursday by confirming that the Stan Kroenke-owned network has snagged sports anchor Vic Lombardi from CBS4.

Lombardi will take on his new job Jan. 1 with duties that include “the studio host for the pre-game, halftime, and post-game coverage of Denver Nuggets games. Additionally, he also will act as a studio host for the All Sports Summit Pro Football Edition and take part in some further original programming soon to be aired by Altitude Sports,” an Altitude spokesman said in a statement.

The 28-time Emmy Award winner said, ““I’m a Denver boy, born and raised. The Nuggets were my first love. I was a Nuggets ball boy when guys like Bill Hanzlik were playing. Now I get to sit next to him in studio. I can’t wait to work with Bill and all my new colleagues at Altitude. Thank you to The Kroenke family and KSE for allowing me this opportunity to be a part of a great organization.”
