The Kings And KHTK's Future

It looks like KHTK will have to find something to fill their schedule, now that the Kings is expected to move to Seattle. Its going to be hard for Sacramento to bring a sports franchise to town, but one can expect KHTK to survive the loss.
 
If a city has no local major league team, the Sports stations usually carry the teams from the nearest large market. I'd expect KHTK and KCTC to share all the Bay Area teams. Aren't they running the Giants and Athletics, 49ers and Raiders... maybe even Sharks games?

It's also not unusual when a team moves away that the local Sports station still carries their games, at least for a season or two. If the ratings drop and advertising falls off, then they don't renew.

They won't be using the "Kings" name when they do move to Seattle. However, KING's sister station KONG 16 was the home station for the Supersonics before they "bolted" to Oklahoma City.

I've heard they'll become the Supersonics.

The Mayor's press conferences look lame. Does he really think he'll keep the Kings here? A downtown arena? That would be a lot of fun to drive to and from. Sure! I'll just take public transportation. ::)
 
I hope not. I'd like to see Sacramento get another NBA Team and call them The Sacramento Supersonics!
Have the Drive in Restaurant Sonic be a major advertiser.

I understand that's not dead yet. While the Kings will move to Seattle, a expansion team could be in the wings. Quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing about it. Yes, I'd love to see us keep a pro basketball team in the market but...

Excellent. Where were they before?

KAHI (950 in Auburn) and sometimes 105.5. If this is really true, and they really carry all of the games that would be great. KHTK used to carry some games (like 105.5 did last season) but A's baseball in the Sacramento market has always been hit-and-miss.
