iHM, LA Kings Partner for New Kings Audio Network

RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, September 18, 2018

The Los Angeles Kings and iHeartMedia Los Angeles announced today that as part of a new digital partnership, all Kings games -- including preseason, regular season and postseason contests -- will now stream live on the new LA Kings Audio Network, a custom station available on iHeartRadio. The coverage on iHeartRadio will also include the broadcast's 30-minute pregame show. Additionally, iHeartRadio will feature Kings Talk, the club's call-in radio show, which will stream live after most regular season and postseason home games.

The LA Kings Audio Network will also be the only place to hear the additional online Kings content plus replays of each game, and as part of the agreement, iHeartRadio will feature Kings audio content for listeners.

Kings President and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille said, "Our streams will continue to not only serve our fans in a traditional sense but the LA Kings Audio Network will also feature additional content that our fans will enjoy listening to. With iHeartRadio's incredible audience reach, this is indeed a special day in the broadcast history of our hockey club. We are looking forward to all the new opportunities iHeartMedia helps to provide and we look forward to working closely with our new partners who not only share our vision but will play a key role in implementing our vision."

"We are also very excited to get back in to the audio game with the LA Kings and establishing the LA Kings Audio Network on iHeartRadio is the first step," added iHeartMedia Los Angeles Senior VP/Sports Don Martin. "Kings fans will now be able to get content including the live game stream, repeats of the games, interviews, podcasts and other exclusive content on iHeartRadio. It's as easy as downloading the free iHeartRadio app today."

Calling the action for Kings games on the LA Kings Audio Network will be Kings Radio play-by-play announcer Nick Nickson, who this year is in his 38th season calling Kings games, and Kings Radio Analyst Daryl Evans, now in his 20th season in that role.
