Prime Ticket's Days Numbered???

With the long-term loss of the Lakers, USC, and UCLA sports, the Clippers will most likely be put on Fox Sports West this upcoming season. There is probably room on the schedule now for both Kings and Ducks hockey on one channel. This leaves Baseball the sole reason for Fox Sports have two SoCal Channels - if they can hold on to both teams! Perhaps Prime Ticket could become a 24/7 Dodger Baseball network?
 
Wait and see what develops on the Sacramento Kings front.

They may yet end up becoming the Anaheim Royals.

The deal for a new Sacramento arena, publicly funded, is not anywhere close to being finalized.
 
Don't forget that the Angels' new TV deal with Fox Sports West gives them a twenty-percent equity stake in the network, so they're not going anywhere. The new deal also gives the Angels priority over everyone on the FSW/PT roster, and an example of that was this past NBA season when three late-season Laker games were moved from West to Prime Ticket; Laker home telecasts on FSW trumped anyone else, even including FSN's national live games.

I can see the Clippers split evenly (or close to it) their TV schedule between FS West and Prime Ticket, to make up the loss of the 35-or-so Laker telecasts that West every season. The original schedule for this past season had 12 Clipper telecasts on West, while 63 would air on Prime Ticket; the revised schedule had 50 games on PT, 12 on West, and one last-minute addition on KCOP.
