[[Bill King]] was the voice of the Raiders from 1966 to 1992, during which time he called approximately 600 games. The Raiders awarded him rings for all three of their Super Bowl victories. It is King's radio audio heard on most of the NFL Films highlight footage of the Raiders. King's call of the [[Holy Roller (American football)|Holy Roller]] has been labeled (by [[Chris Berman]], among others) as one of the five best in NFL history. King died in October 2005 from complications after surgery. Former San Francisco 49ers tight end [[Monty Stickles]] and [[Scotty Stirling]], an ''[[Oakland Tribune]]'' sportswriter, served as [[color commentator]]s with King.

===Television===
The Raiders' games are broadcast in Las Vegas on CBS affiliate [[KLAS-TV]] (channel 8) and in the Bay Area on [[NFL on CBS|CBS]] [[Owned-and-operated television stations in the United States|owned-and-operated station]] [[KPIX-TV]] (channel 5) (when playing an [[American Football Conference|AFC]] opponent) and on Las Vegas Fox affiliate [[KVVU-TV]] (channel 5) and in the Bay Area on [[NFL on Fox|Fox]] owned-and-operated station [[KTVU]] (channel 2) (when hosting an [[National Football Conference|NFC]] opponent), unless there is an [[NFL blackout]] locally. Sunday night games are on Las Vegas [[NBC]] affiliate [[KSNV]] (channel 3) and in the Bay Area on NBC owned-and-operated station [[KNTV]] (channel 11). In 2018, Thursday games moved to KTVU and KVVU-TV in Oakland and Las Vegas, respectively, formerly airing on either NBC or CBS prior to 2018. All Thursday games air on NFL Network otherwise. Traditionally, Monday night games airing on ESPN would air on ABC affiliate [[KTNV-TV]] (channel 13) in Las Vegas and ABC
owned-and-operated station [[KGO-TV]] (channel 7) in San Francisco.

During the team's two tenures in Oakland, the Raiders were a [[NFL on Television#49ers and Raiders in the San Francisco Bay Area (1960–1981 and 1995–2019)|beneficiary of league scheduling policies]]. Both the Raiders and the [[San Francisco 49ers]] shared the San Francisco Bay Area market, on the West Coast of the United States. This meant that the Raiders could not play any home games, road division games against the [[Denver Broncos]] or [[Los Angeles Chargers]], or interconference road games against the [[NFC West]] (in seasons that the [[AFC West]] and NFC West meet in interconference play) in the early 10:00&nbsp;a.m. [[Pacific Time Zone|Pacific time]] slot. In addition, they could not play interconference home games at the same time or network as the 49ers. As a result, both teams generally had more limited scheduling options and also benefited by receiving more prime time games than usual.

Starting shortly after the announcement of the Raider franchise relocation to Las Vegas, KVVU-TV, the local Fox affiliate in Las Vegas began carrying all Raiders preseason games and special content.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Raiders Announce Official Las Vegas Media Partnerships With KVVU FOX5 TV And Beasley Media Group |url=http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/Raiders-Announce-Official-Las-Vegas-Media-Partnerships-With-KVVU-FOX5-TV-And-Beasley-Media-Group/fa3a2aed-05cb-4d6f-aedb-d0545470d9f7 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170604025525/http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/Raiders-Announce-Official-Las-Vegas-Media-Partnerships-With-KVVU-FOX5-TV-And-Beasley-Media-Group/fa3a2aed-05cb-4d6f-aedb-d0545470d9f7 |archive-date=June 4, 2017 |access-date=December 14, 2018 |website=Raiders.com}}</ref> In 2020, a deal was made with [[Nexstar Media Group]] for stations in Raiders markets placing Raiders preseason and special content on [[KRON-TV]] (moving from KTVU) in the Bay Area, [[KTLA]] in Los Angeles, [[KTVX]] in Salt Lake City, [[KHON-TV]] in Honolulu, and  [[KGET-TV]] in Bakersfield alongside KVVU and KLAS in Las Vegas.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nexstar Broadcasting and Raiders reach multi-market, multi-year agreement on content partnership, pre-season broadcast rights|url=https://www.raiders.com/news/nexstar-broadcasting-and-raiders-reach-multi-market-multi-year-agreement?campaign=sf:fanshare:facebook|website=Raiders|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-20|archive-date=June 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606150638/https://www.raiders.com/news/nexstar-broadcasting-and-raiders-reach-multi-market-multi-year-agreement?campaign=sf:fanshare:facebook|url-status=live}}</ref>
