King Leaves CNN for Good

Revered U.S. newsman Larry King has left his longtime network Cnn for good, a year after Piers Morgan took over his nightly show.

The broadcaster hosted Larry King Live daily for 25 years and became one of America's most respected interviewers.

He decided to leave in December 2010, and British journalist Morgan took up his seat to host Piers Morgan Tonight.

King has since hosted several specials for Cnn, but he has now left thenetwork once and for all.

A statement from a Cnn spokesperson says, "We have the greatest respectfor Larry and wish him the best of luck with his new endeavours".
