Fear not, fellow Kings fan, for this trusty guide will illuminate the airwaves like Wayne Gretzky lighting up a scoreboard.
Kings of the Dial: Your Radio Royalty
The Kings, in their infinite wisdom, spread their royal broadcasts across a couple of stations. Here's the breakdown, so you don't end up listening to polka music instead of Dustin Brown laying the lumber.
-
The OG Kings of the Airwaves: KWKW 1330 AM (Tu Liga Radio)
- This is your Spanish-language Kings broadcast. Don't let the language barrier fool you – the announcers bring the energy, and those dramatic "gooooool" calls are guaranteed to get you pumped.
-
The Kings in English: 104.5 ESPN Radio
- Ah, the familiar sounds of Kings hockey in English. This is your go-to station for play-by-play, analysis, and all the pre-game and post-game buzz.
Pro Tip: Download the iHeartRadio app. They often stream the Kings' radio broadcast, giving you maximum flexibility to cheer on the team from anywhere.
When the Kings Take a Break: Alternative Radio Royalty
Now, let's face it, the Kings aren't playing every single night. So, what do you do when there's no hockey on the radio? Here are some suggestions, depending on your mood:
- Need more hockey? Check out SiriusXM – they have a dedicated NHL channel with games and replays galore.
- Feeling amped after a Kings win? Crank up some classic rock on KLOS 95.5 or jump into the mosh pit with KROQ 106.7 FM.
- Want to unwind after a tough Kings loss? Escape into the smooth sounds of KJazz 88.1 or the eclectic mix on KCRW 88.9 FM.
Remember, there's a whole radio kingdom out there to explore, even when the Kings aren't on the ice.
So there you have it, folks! With this guide, you'll never be lost in the radio wilderness again. Now, fire up that radio, grab your favorite Kings jersey (and maybe a Kings-themed beverage!), and get ready to cheer on our boys in silver and black!
