Ouch. Six game road trip in January:
Orlando, Miami (back to back), Philly, New York (back to back), Boston, Toronto.
Five game road trip in March:
Cleveland, Atlanta, Washington, New Jersey (back to back), Milwaukee
Looks like the first half of the season is home-heavy and the second half is road-heavy.

my mistake, i naturally assumed most people have cable. 
and last season, without having to mooch off my friend's league pass, not counting the extra 4 games i get for being near the knicks and the nets, and also discounting the bizarre free 3 months of free NBA TV i got (thanks to the contract disputes over at MSG), i recall having about 8 games nationally (and cable-ly). but i could be wrong.

1 Game on ABC (Sun, Mar 5 10:00AM Pacific)
5 Games on ESPN
5 Games on TNT
9 Games on NBATV
Ouch... not much for fans not in Sac.
Also, they open with the first three and four out of the first five on the road (including Houston, Phoenix and Detroit). There will be some sky is falling panic after those games. Those five are immediately followed by 12 out of 14 at home, where I'm sure some will get an over-inflated view of the team's abilities.
March looks tough, 11 out of 17 are on the road, and there are four back-to-backs.
I count a total of 17 back-to-backs all season.

The term "national" doesn't exclude the cable networks.
I don't remember the number of Kings games that have been picked up nationally the previous years, but it does look like a slight drop-off. Not surprising as the jury is still out on this team. We can still be a fun team to watch, but there are teams with higher profiles than us currently.

Schedule looks very 2003-04ish. We could look pretty strong early with everything at Arco and then run right into a brutal finish and fall back.
National TV is WAY down. About half of what it was in the glory days when we were up around the maximum allowed for any team and shairng the spotlight wiht the Lakers. To be expected though -- we've lost a lot of our national sex appeal.
