Are the Kings too ugly for preseason TV?

[jcassio]

I've been frustrated with the lack of a TV broadcast available for the first three Kings preseason games. And now I just read that tonight's game against the Lakers is also not being broadcast on TV. WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?!! WHEN DOES IT END?
Are there other teams that are blacked out on TV for their first four preseason games? If so, why? Is it a strategy designed to get people into the arenas? Is it teams that lack a big enough following? Is it the NBA? Is it Vivek? Is it Grant??

they've been pushing for nbatv subscriptions on the nba.com site. think you can view it online that way.

Lakers will broadcast game, pretty easy to find streams.

They must be. Lakers, Jazz, Suns, Blazers have shown multiple NBA TV games and Kings can't get one....ahh well, good thing I have League Pass.

OK. Thanks, I can hold off a little longer before taking the plunge. I don't know why, 'cause I know I will.
