A Sacramento sports talk radio voice was taken off the air for a second time Monday as Lotus Communications-owned “Fox Sports 104.7 FM 890 AM Sacramento” KSAC-AM/K284CM abruptly canceled “The Grant Napear Show,” the Sacramento Bee reports.

Napear announced the move on social media, ending an eight-month run after his return to the station. In his post, he thanked listeners and producer Ryan Bohamera.

Napear and Bohamera were notified of the cancellation about 30 minutes before Monday’s scheduled broadcast. The station instead aired “The Odd Couple,” a nationally syndicated Fox Sports Radio program featuring Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington.

Bohamera told the Bee that station leadership supported the show’s content but struggled to attract advertisers. Napear said the company is “cutting costs across the board,” according to the newspaper.

Later Monday, Napear addressed the situation during a livestream on YouTube and X.

“To be honest, I’m not shocked, and the reason why I’m not shocked is the radio business, even since I last did it in 2020, is so different. It is so different, and it’s a business, quite frankly, that is close to becoming extinct because of formats like this and satellite radio, and everything else that is called competition, and that is where we’re at.”

Napear said he plans to continue hosting a podcast on YouTube and X Monday through Friday.

KSAC launched “The Grant Napear Show” in September, marking Napear’s return to the Sacramento market five years after his departure from local radio and television. He had spent more than three decades as a prominent sports broadcaster. That run includes serving as the television play-by-play voice of the Sacramento Kings and hosting a drive-time radio show on Bonneville International’s “Sactown Sports 1140” KHTK-AM Sacramento.

Napear lost both roles in 2021 following allegations of racial insensitivity tied to a social media post. He had tweeted “ALL LIVES MATTER … EVERY SINGLE ONE” in response to a question from former Kings player DeMarcus Cousins about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Napear subsequently sued Bonneville for wrongful termination, but his suit was ultimately unsuccessful.
