Should note that tonight Kayte herself stopped on by and left a message thanking everybody.
If you're out on facebook and would like to see her back and haven't done so already already, stop on by and give us a like and a maybe a note. People are paying attention, including Kayte herself apparently.

woohoo!
Have no idea if we helped any -- she and CD were tight, and he has known the new uppityups and is a likely source -- but thanks all and congrats to Kayte! Welcome back!

1) woohoo! I don't know to what degree we helped -- she and CD are close and with his connections to the new uppityups he's a likely source -- but thx everyone and congrats to Kayte. Welcome back!
2) one note though: sideline reporting is beneath Kayte, and frankly wastes her talent. She wasn't even particularly great at interviewing nobodies about nothing. She needs a position where she can talk and analyze basketball, not do fluff interviews with Urijah Faber. Hopefully she will be able to make a real contribution in pre or post game work, halftimes etc.

Great news!
I'm with Brick though. I'd like to hear her at halftimes and post games doing an analysis. She's not being utilized properly just doing the sidelines. That's more of a fluff piece, and I think she's much more substantial than that. It's also good to hear that Reynolds will be back.

They listened! It's great to have Kayte back in the family and hopefully she'll be here for a long time to come. I can envision a path for her to move onto the broadcast team at some point as Jerry edges toward retirement.
I hope this is the case. She is too talented to do the sideline reporting, however this may indeed be the "foot in the door" (so to speak) to move up when the time is right.
Here's the press release:
Fans Can Follow the Kings Throughout
2013-14 Season on Comcast SportsNet California
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Sacramento Kings announced today that 70 of the team’s 82 games during the 2013-14 regular season will be televised on Comcast SportsNet California (CSN California). This year marks the 10th consecutive season that CSNCA has served as the Kings primary broadcast partner.
The Kings commitment to providing the best TV experience continues with production of Kings games by the organization’s 10-time Emmy Award-winning broadcast team, including all telecasts produced in High Definition (HD).
“Comcast SportsNet is committed to providing the region’s most comprehensive Kings coverage through this 70-game telecast schedule along with season-long news and analysis on SportsNet Central and Yahoo! SportsTalk Live,” said Ted Griggs, President of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area and Comcast SportsNet California. “Vivek Ranadivé and his executive team have done a terrific job in assembling one of the most dynamic franchises in the NBA. General Manager Pete D'Alessandro and Head Coach Michael Malone have a tremendous roster of players to work with and we are confident that the Kings will provide their passionate and loyal fans with a playoff-caliber season.”
“Our continued partnership with Comcast SportsNet California will once again allow us to provide excellent coverage and serve the most Kings fans possible on television,” said Kings President Chris Granger. “This season is the debut of a new era for Kings basketball in Sacramento, and we’re excited to collaborate with Comcast to share a variety of compelling storylines associated with this team.”
Popular mainstays Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds will return to Kings TV as the play-by-play and color analyst, respectively. Napear enters his 26th season calling Kings basketball, serving as TV announcer from 1988-89 through 1993-94 and 1998-1999 to the present, in addition to three campaigns (1995-96 to 1997-98) as radio play-by-play announcer on KHTK (1140 AM). For Reynolds, the 2013-14 season marks his 29th with the franchise, a tenure distinguished by a multitude of roles. In addition to serving as the Kings head coach for nearly four seasons (1987-90) and Kings director of player personnel from 1994-2013, Reynolds also acted as Sacramento Monarchs General Manager for six campaigns (1998-2003).
Additionally, Kayte Christensen will return to the Kings broadcast team and assume sideline reporting duties. The fan favorite and former WNBA standout begins her second stint with the organization after serving in a similar capacity from 2007-10, including a role as pregame and halftime host during Kings TV and radio programs.
CSN California tips-off its coverage on Friday, Nov. 1 when the Kings continue their season-opening home stand versus the L.A. Clippers.

It's a foot in the door. She may be underused as a sideline reporter but perhaps the management will see that we aren't screaming for her inclusion in the announcing team just because of her looks. Even if she only interviews Urijah, she WILL be around when off the air and people who do not know her will figure out her level of basketball intelligence and ability to communicate it.

Glad she's back, wish she was in a pregame show so we could see her more. Well, i just wanna see a pregame show to keep me occupied before games.

I don't think that's entirely out of the question. I'm pretty convinced Vivek is going to be doing a lot of stuff to enhance the fan experience.
