The NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and iHeartMedia have signed a new deal to bring the team over to AM 570 LA Sports/KLAC. The first game to be broadcast on the station will be Saturday night. The Clippers had been on KFWB-AM (980) since 2009 but have been looking for a new radio partner since the station changed to a foreign-language format last month. Clippers games will also be heard on The Patriot, KEIB AM 1150, when there are conflicts with Dodgers baseball.
Beyond broadcasting the games on AM 570 LA Sports, Clippers-related programming and promotion will run across iHeartMedia’s multi-platform media assets, including radio, digital, outdoor and music/entertainment events.
Play-by-play duties will be handled by Brian Sieman, now in his ninth season calling Clippers action on the radio, while the venerable “Voice of the Clippers,” Ralph Lawler and former Clipper Michael Smith team up with Sieman to call all nationally televised games not shown on Fox Sports PRIME TICKET. Long-time Clippers broadcaster Isaac Lowenkron will continue to host Clippers pre-game, halftime and post-game shows.
