LARRY King said on Thursday that 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 startup of the network financed by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Executives had originally intended to launch in the fall.
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," which aired on CNN in prime time for 25 years, and he's retained much of his old production staff. 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.
Fresh episodes will be posted online about 5 or 6pm, as opposed to the 9pm start time of King's TV show, although viewers will be able to watch it whenever they want.
King, who's 78, said he misses the nightly show.
