SACRAMENTO, CALIF., Dec. 14, 2011 -- Dec. 14, 2011 – The Sacramento Kings announced today that 65 of the team’s 66 games during the 2011-12 regular season will be televised on Comcast SportsNet California (CSN California). Additionally, Turner Network Television (TNT) will air one contest on national television (Feb. 9 – Kings vs. Oklahoma City Thunder).

Maloof Sports & Entertainment’s commitment to providing the best broadcast experience to Kings fans continues with production of all 2011-12 Kings games by MS&E’s six-time Emmy Award-winning broadcast team, including all telecasts produced in High Definition (HD).

"We are thrilled to continue our strong partnership with Maloof Sports & Entertainment and the Kings through this 65-game telecast schedule provided in HD," said Comcast SportsNet California Vice President and General Manager Larry Eldridge. "The Kings are an exciting young team on the rise with a passionate fan base, and we are again looking forward to providing stellar coverage to Kings fans throughout Northern and Central California."

"Our continued partnership with Comcast SportsNet California will once again allow us to provide quality coverage and serve the most Kings fans possible on television," said Kings President of Business Operations Matina Kolokotronis. "And the HD production of all Kings games by MS&E’s Emmy Award-winning team helps carry out the Maloof family’s mission of catering to customers."

Popular mainstays Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds will return once again to the Kings Broadcast Network as the play-by-play and color analyst, respectively.

The regular season broadcast schedule begins on Dec. 26 as Sacramento hosts the L.A. Lakers at Power Balance Pavilion. Prior to tip-off, fans are encouraged to tune-in to a 30-minute “Back in Black” pregame show hosted by Napear and Reynolds beginning at 6:30pm (PST).

About damn time

I think in the middle of last year they started experimenting with doing HD on the road. Most games were in 1600x1080 but not true HD
