Larry King finale ratings top Fox
A strong finish to a long career. The finale of “Larry King Live” accomplished the nearly impossible in cable these days: it beat Fox News in Primetime – at least in total viewers.

But 2.24 million total viewers watching CNN were enough to put it over Fox’s 2.162 million. CNN – 2.240 million total viewers/530k adults...

Larry King to CNN-Watching World: 'So Long'
“I was famous in Miami when I was 26,” Larry King recently informed New York's Steve Fishman.

Alas, tonight was Larry King's last on CNN, and he left the anchor's chair suspender-clad as he came, ...
