Overview
- Napear’s program will air weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. Pacific Time on Fox Sports Sacramento starting September 2.
- He served as the Kings’ TV play-by-play voice and hosted a top-rated KHTK radio show from 1988 until his exit in June 2020 over an “All Lives Matter” reply to DeMarcus Cousins.
- After his dismissal and resignation, Napear pursued a discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit against Bonneville International and KHTK that was later dismissed by the courts.
- Since leaving traditional radio, he has maintained a profile through a Sacramento Kings podcast co-hosted with longtime partner Jerry Reynolds.
- His return directly challenges KHTK, the station that fired him and defended the 2020 decision, underscoring fierce competition in Sacramento’s sports talk market.
