Two Larry King Shows Arrive in the U.K. This Month

LONDON: Larry King’s two interview programs, PoliticKing with Larry King and Larry King Now, are set to broadcast in the U.K. exclusively on RT.

Larry King Now, produced by Ora TV, will premiere on November 9 and will air Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. King will interview influential figures in pop culture, music, sports, film and TV. Recent guests include Matthew McConaughey, Nigel Lythgoe, Celine Dion and George Foreman, among others.

PoliticKing with Larry King was created for RT by King and Ora TV. It will broadcast in the U.K. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is slated for a November 10 premiere. On the show, the legendary interviewer will sit down with top figures in Washington, D.C., and key players from governments around the world.

"I had always been heard in London through CNN and enjoyed visiting the city and engaging with fans," King remarked. "Our new U.K. audience will love our outstanding and influential guests on PoliticKing and Larry King Now and I look forward to bringing these invigorating conversations and interviews to television audiences with RT UK.”

"Larry King's talent has always been the ability to see the wider picture, and make even local issues compelling for viewers in different corners of the world,” said Margarita Simonyan, RT's editor in chief. “This is what makes him a truly international broadcasting personality, and so appealing for our U.K. audience. We are thrilled that our partnership with Larry continues to grow.”
