Larry King's back soon
Larry King said on Thursday his talk show will resume this summer on the new digital network Ora.TV, earlier than he or the network had anticipated.
The show Larry King Now will mark the start-up of the network financed by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Executives had originally intended to launch in the autumn.
But King said he wanted to "get into the political mix". The Democratic and Republican national conventions to name presidential nominees are this summer.
King said he expected the format of his show to be similar to Larry King Live. The new show will generally be 30 minutes in length, instead of an hour, although there will be flexibility to go shorter or longer depending on who's being interviewed, said Jon Housman, Ora.TV's CEO.
King, who's 78, said he misses the nightly show.
"The night I missed it the most, when it really hit me, was the night Osama Bin Laden was killed," he said.
