If you go with one of the streaming services (YouTube, Hulu, etc) that don’t have Bally’s, you can subscribe directly to Bally’s West for $19.99 a month which gets you all Kings/Ducks games.

Start up the Tank!
I have Fubo TV for streaming service and get all the Kings games and all local channels too (some streaming services dont have local channels). I pay $102 a month, which is way less than I paid with Directv while getting the same amount of channels.
So far it's the best streaming service I have found as I've tried them all.

F*** your ice cream!
Fubo is very good, except you don't get TNT & TBS
keep this link handy for whenever you want to switch providers
Suppose... you could design your perfect TV service
Suppose lets you select your favorite TV channels, searches billions of combinations of cable, satellite and streaming TV services, and finds the best for you.
www.suppose.tv
you can rank channels by importance and they have some promos sometime
In LA, it's currently
Supposedly Amazon is going to distribute Bally's but who knows when that is going to happen

ESPN+ and a VPN will get you a lot of games, but not all. Luckily, I use a family member's login to watch stuff that is on TNT and other channels (they are in Nevada). For anything not on these platforms, I'll hit a certain website that has all the NHL streams.

Thank You, Team 144
I say this every season this topic is brought up, but it's absolutely wild that it's cheaper and easier to watch the Kings if you live out of market than it is if you live in the SoCal market, ESPN+ for $10 a month
I still have YouTubeTV, but only because I'm a degen during weekends in the fall and they have the NFL package and 99% of the channels that show college ball. But I don't believe YouTubeTV has the regional sports networks anymore.
The NHL should be embarrassed that it's this difficult and expensive for local fans to follow their team.
This is better than nothing, especially if you are a masochist and also enjoy following the Angels and Clippers. But overall it's still a rip off, considering people out of market get every non-national NHL game for half the price.
Feel like Bally's should be more like $8.99 a month.

Do you think this model has the Kings attention and it would even be considered by them?

I can guarantee you that the Kings are aware of it.
As for consideration?
Maybe in the future? I have no idea.

The Ducks again ahead of the curve on the Kings when it comes to broadcasting and providing a better fan experience.
I guess that’s what happens when you have an owner who lives 15 minutes from the arena and is active and invested in the local community, and an educated team president who earned his job based on merit and not because he scored a bunch of goals on the ice 30 years ago.

I have many questions. Are the Ducks being proactive?
Did Bally's say goodbye
or is Bally's finally being euthenized?

There are plenty of places to stream online for free or cheap. PM me if you want some info. All you need is a streaming device like a fire TV, android box or apple TV. You can even use your smart TV. I'd also recommend a VPN. I haven't paid for cable since 2015.

That's nice of the Ducks and all but I don't think they are giving away their streaming and TV broadcasts out of benevolence.
Damn. That's more than the annual price for my cable TV here in Slovakia.
NHL.tv is around $120 for the entire season here in Europe, which includes all Kings games (and all other teams' games, regular season & play-offs).

During high school, I hung with the wrong crowd and I never graduated.
So, I challenged Victor to meet me halfway.

It's clunkier to switch from Directv to all the streaming options, but once you get used to it its not too bad. I switched last year.

Ducks whoop the Kings ass in the Rinks program and stuff like this. If I was a new fan in So Cal the ducks would be the ones reaching me.

If you saw the way they were marketing the Utah HC up here compared to what the Kings do in SoCal you would shit yourself. The Kings marketing team really doesn’t market to people who like hockey anymore. They just want casual people looking for something to do. This is why they don’t have to offer a quality product just hype.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I will look into each one of them. DTV has gotten over $200/month and I do not watch as much TV as I use to.
