Larry King joins Russian channel RT

Larry King, the veteran television host, has joined RT, the Russian-based 24-hour cable news network.

The new show, called "Politics with Larry King" will debut in June. RT will also host "Larry King Now," the show King launched on Hulu in July 2012. The programs will be recorded in Los Angeles and Washington.

"I would rather ask questions to people in positions of power, instead of speaking on their behalf. That's why you can find my show, 'Larry King Now,' right here on RT," King says in a new ad. In a press release, RT called the new program "a mold-breaking political talk show."

King spent 25 years as the host of CNN's "Larry King Live," before stepping down in 2010. He co-founded the production company Ora.TV with Mexican telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim two years later and began broadcasting on Hulu, the online video subscription service.
