THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

99.9% sure this is due to the Bally fiasco,

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The lack of a TV partnership is a bit concerning, especially given that Bally Sports is going belly up.

 

[YP44]

i wonder what drove this? Are there less regional games vs national? Will games be called by Nick on both radio and TV or is radio being cut?

I am excited to listen to Nick more but seems like a bad sign the way this is going down.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

It's cool guys, we have a very business saavy and ivy league educated President.

hahahahahahahaahahha

you guys realize this is affecting literally every North America sport...

Padres are having their games broadcast by MLB directly...


Bally's going belly up is going to cause massive changes wrt sports broadcasts

 

[BigKing]

Definitely due to the Bally's stuff but we are making lemonade out of lemons here.

The real issue is how/where will the games be broadcast.

 

[kingsboy11]

Well this is certainly big news. I understand that Bally Sports is in complete shambles right now, but didn't expect the Kings to be without a TV Partnership right now and didn't expect Faust to be cut loose. I know many here and elsewhere had issues with Faust, but I never had a problem with him and definitely thought he got better on the job over the years. I didn't expect him to be here long term because of all the broadcast he does outside of the Kings, but this is a surprise and especially don't want someone losing their job because of this.

Yeah we know, everything is 'how could they possibly prepare for this' and the answer as always is

They're f***ing compensated literally millions to and what other NHL franchises is this happening to?

Pretty clear you have no clue what you are talking about... large broadcast corporations going belly never happens

 

[Seattle King]

Nice to see the organization does know how to consolidate and move salary out.
Time to apply it to the on-ice roster.

 

[chris kontos]

Hopefully i will still be able to buy the nhl center ice deal for tv . Because it looks like for outof the la area fans we're gonna be screwed fir watching thekings on tv

[WHOneedsSOX]

Damn that's too bad. Thought Faust was odd at times and annoying but thought all in all he was really good.

 

[chris kontos]

Welcome back to channel 9 once a month tv/radio simulcasts
FFFFF

 

[tny760]

nick nickson on motherf***in tv baby woooooooooooo

FINALLY

oh my god this game call is gonna be SO good and i'd bet dimes to donuts foxy will stay in line behind nick too

Looks like Nick Nickson is going to be working with Jim Fox. That’s an improvement.

I know it’s tough for Faust, but I’ll gladly say I’m happy he isn’t going to bore me to death anymore.

 

[kingsholygrail]

If the Kings were more popular they could have a spectrum channel. I fear there aren't going to be very many Kings television broadcasts next season.

 

[Sol]

I’m wondering, how on earth did Ballys land all these contracts when their company wasn’t in good standing. How on earth did this happen? I can’t imagine getting this deal and being in shambles.

Did no one check their company?

I guess we'll see 30 other teams following suit in short order then right?

Is there anything more Kings than letting go of a promising young talent in favor of a late-game veteran because of poor management?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If the Kings were more popular they could have a spectrum channel. I fear there aren't going to be very many Kings television broadcasts next season.

Given how they operate their own streaming radio network, they would likely replay the same thing on a constant loop 24 hours a day with zero fresh content.

 

[Faterson]

He'll be better on Jeopardy, and he can announce the next Ottawa draft pick for all I care. Good luck! He gave his best, but one adjective that comes to my mind in conjunction with him is cheesy.

lot of folks around here called it too, this was just a stepping stone to a national assignment for him, i imagine that's where he's headed
