King, 78, will host a program similar to Larry King Live, which CNN canceled in 2010 after 25 years."I run into people every day who tell me they miss my show. And a lot of times I miss it too," King told the Times.Ora.tv is also in discussions with other on-air personalities to join King on the lineup. King's wife, Shawn, will probably host a style show.
