LA Kings Announce Changes To Broadcast Format

Due to current and ever-changing dynamics surrounding the broadcasting landscape, the LA Kings will transition to a singular broadcast team across television and radio beginning with the 2023-24 season.

Nick Nickson will serve as club play-by-play announcer alongside Jim Fox as analyst. They will be joined by Daryl Evans as an on-air personality for the simulcast. Additional roles will be announced at a later date.

As a result of this new strategy and structure, the organization has informed Alex Faust that unfortunately his contract as television play-by-play announcer will not be renewed. It is set to expire on June 30, 2023.
