For 35 years, he’s been an iconic sports commentator serving Sacramento as a play-by-play announcer for its NBA franchise, the Kings; and for a popular host on KHTK-AM 1140, a property formerly owned by CBS Radio that is today a part of the Bonneville International Corp. family.
The company fired him at the height of the George Floyd murder unrest, in June 2020, after he tweeted “All Lives Matter” and bringing unwanted attention to both himself and to KHTK. A wrongful termination suit filed in October 2021 was tossed in April 2023. Then came an amended suit, in May. Now, Bonneville’s attorneys are asking the court to dismiss the amended suit, putting Grant Napear’s legal battle to rest.
