Clippers and KTLA Channel 5 Enter Into Exclusive Broadcast Agreement



The Los Angeles Clippers and KTLA, Channel 5 today announced that the
two parties have reached a multi-year exclusive broadcast television
rights agreement.

KTLA will carry 25 Clippers telecasts during the upcoming 2002-03
season. A broadcast schedule will be announced later this summer,
after the NBA schedules are set.

The deal represents the second such alliance between the two parties.
KTLA was the over-the-air television home of the Clippers during the
1985-86 through 1990-91 NBA seasons.

"This partnership is indeed a tremendous opportunity for the
Clippers' organization, but even more importantly, it is a wonderful
development for our fans. Our team has become known as one of the
more exciting and dynamic groups in the NBA. This relationship
stimulates a big uptick in our viewing universe, and everybody
benefits from that," said Clippers' Executive Vice President Andy
Roeser.

According to KTLA Vice President and General Manager John
Reardon, "The Clippers relationship presents increased opportunity
and benefits for both sides and, most importantly, allows fans to see
more televised games."

It is anticipated that there will be no change in the Clippers long-
time broadcast personnel. Ralph Lawler, who has spent 23 years as
the "Voice of the Clippers", will return with Bill Walton and Michael
Smith.

KTLA, Channel 5 is The WB affiliate in Los Angeles and a Tribune
Broadcasting station.
