On the media report last Tuesday, Larry King announced that he is going to step down from his signature nightly program in the fall, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Larry King and the age of 76-year-old, whose nightly CNN talk show was long a required stomping ground for striving politicians and contrite celebrities, will not be leaving CNN altogether: The Times said that He signed a new contract to host quarterly specials on the cable news channel.
Larry King broke the news himself on Twitter, by writing “Announcing tonight: I’m ending my nightly show this fall but continuing at CNN. http://bit.ly/9hBv9.” Larry King said that he had asked his network to let him “hang up his suspenders.”
The “Larry King Live” talk show, which has been on air on CNN for 25 years, has seen a sharp fall-off in audience this year.
An average of 677,000 viewers tuned in during the second quarter of 2010, down 37 percent from the same period last year, according to Nielsen.
