The Kings announced their TV schedule Friday, and it will include 75 games on Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket and a total of 81 of 82 games televised locally or nationally. That number includes telecasts scheduled to air on NBC and Versus.

The club also announced that on-air personality Heidi Androl is “undertaking some exciting new ventures” that leave her unable to return to the Fox Sports West broadcast team or remain with the Kings on a full-time basis.

A team spokesman said Androl will remain a part of the organization and will participate in various projects, including Sunday’s Hockey Fest event at Staples Center.
