Kings Migrate To iHeartRadio
• Here’s some intriguing news for fellow fans of our hometown team, the Los Angeles Kings — the Kings are leaving terrestrial radio, thanks to an innovative digital partnership with iHeartMedia Los Angeles that will now stream all Kings’ games — preseason, regular season and postseason — live on the new official LA Kings Audio Network, a custom iHeartRadio station. The iHeartRadio stream will also include the 30-minute pregame show as well as Kings Talk, the club’s popular post-game call-in radio show. 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 exclusive Kings audio content for listeners.
Kings President and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille remarked, “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.”
Luc then passed the mic to Don Martin, SVP of Sports for iHeartMedia Los Angeles, who commented, “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,” said. “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.” Since 2014, the Kings’ broadcast radio flagship was Cumulus News-Talk 790 KABC.
