Although the Kings will tip-off the 2016-17 in a new downtown Sacramento arena, familiar faces await the team for coverage of the inaugural season at Golden 1 Center. Fan favorites Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds will return to the TV broadcast alongside sideline reporter Kayte Christensen as CSN California will carry 81 of the squad’s 82 regular season contests.
Former Kings guard Doug Christie and longtime Sacramento television personality Jim Kozimor will take over Kings pregame and postgame duties. Kozimor returns to report on the team after a seven-year hiatus, covering the Kings and Monarchs for an 11-year span between 1998 to 2009.
