I'm excited to announce that my show, Larry King Now will now be available on TV on RT TV starting next week! But a couple of headlines have the story wrong, so I want to correct a few mistakes I've seen.
1. RT has not hired me. They have licensed my shows, and will air them on their RT TV station twice per evening starting June 3. They'll be on at 5pm and 9pm ET and 8pm and midnight PT --- I hope you'll watch!
2. My shows are my own - and Ora TV. My shows have been and will continue to be produced by the company I co-founded, Ora TV, and I will continue to ask all my own questions. They are a continuation of the same great shows you've enjoyed for the last 8 months on Hulu and Ora TV. RT is airing the shows, without any editorial oversight - whatsoever.
3. Larry King Now will continue to stream on both Hulu and Ora TV.
4. TV channels in other countries have also licensed the programs, stay tuned, and I will announce broadcasters and tune-in information soon!
Thanks for making my show so successful on Hulu and Ora TV, and I'm excited to continue to bring you great conversations with fascinating people in the days, weeks, and years to come!

With profound sadness, Ora Media announces the death of our co-founder, host, and friend Larry King, who passed away this morning at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry's many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster. Additionally, while it was his name appearing in the shows' titles, Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs, and himself as merely an unbiased conduit between the guest and audience. Whether he was interviewing a U.S. president, foreign leader, celebrity, scandal-ridden personage, or an everyman, Larry liked to ask short, direct, and uncomplicated questions. He believed concise questions usually provided the best answers, and he was not wrong in that belief.
Larry's interviews from his 25-year run on CNN's "Larry King Live," and his Ora Media programs "Larry King Now," and "Politicking with Larry King" are consistently referenced by media outlets around the world and remain part of the historical record of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Ora Media sends our condolences to his surviving children Larry, Jr., Chance, Cannon and the entire King family.
Funeral arrangements and a memorial service will be announced later in coordination with the King family, who ask for their privacy at this time.
Congratulations Los Angeles Dodgers!!
You guys deserve it! #WorldSeries
