The Sacramento Kings have unveiled plans to provide fans with new ways to listen to the team’s radio broadcasts.
Kings Radio will allow fans to listen to games for free across what the team called an expanded lineup of audio platforms. Kings games will no longer be broadcast on Sactown Sports 1140 KHTK-AM, but fans can now listen to games on Kings.com, the Kings app and SiriusXM. The team’s longtime partnership with KHTK has ended, and the two sides could not reach a new agreement, prompting the Kings to take the production and distribution of their radio broadcasts in house.
The new options will be available starting Oct. 5 when the Kings play their first preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. Kings Radio will complement Kings+, the organization’s free streaming platform, as part of the team’s ongoing efforts to make team content more accessible across multiple platforms.
The “G-Man” Gary Gerould, “The High Flyer” Henry Turner and Jason Ross will continue to call games on the English-language broadcast. The Kings are also introducing a new Spanish-language broadcast featuring Armando Botello.
“Kings Radio is an investment in our fans, giving us greater ability to innovate, expand access and bring Kings basketball to a larger audience,” John Rinehart, the team’s president of business operations, said in a news release. “As the way fans consume sports continues to evolve, we’re making it easier to listen across more platforms, introducing a Spanish-language broadcast and continuing to feature the legendary voices that have been a treasured part of Kings basketball for generations.”
