The undisputed king of LA sports radio play-by-play deserved another moment in the sun.
“The long wait is over! After 45 years, the Kings can wear their crown!”
26 years ago, the Los Angeles Kings separated their radio and television broadcasts, and since then, one man has owned the radio booth: Nick Nickson. In a city where television broadcasting legends dominate the sporting landscape, Nickson is the only one who truly stands up to his radio counterpart. Since 1990, the Lakers have had five radio play-by-play men, the Clippers have had six, and the Dodgers haven’t had a full-time guy thanks to the incredible longevity of Vin Scully.
