Death of our number one talker, Larry King
The McDonough County Voice It was at midnight in an Oklahoma radio station in 1979 that I first heard Larry King. The man who eventually conducted an estimated 60,000 interviews died Saturday at age 87. Larry King was on the Mutual Broadcasting System when I first heard him. I was filling in as overnight producer at a news/talk station in Tulsa. I had heard about King's nationwide call-in show, but this had been my first chance to listen. King had been on the air for 63 years when he died. He had been hospitalized in Los Angeles since January 2. King had tested positive for COVID-19.
