Longtime Los Angeles talk radio host Larry Elder was let go after his show yesterday, per Don Barrett at LARadio.com. “I was eating dinner last night when Larry called and said he was fired,” his agent, George Green told Barrett. “The KABC general manager and program director called a few minutes later to confirm.” Barrett says Elder's show began to get pre-empted by LA Kings games, which are new to the station.
In 2015, the only radio person to receive a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be Elder. Hopefully he will find another radio home before the ceremony.
Larry refers to himself as the "Sage from South Central," and describes his political ideology as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal."
Elder was dropped by KABC in 2008 as well, then returned to the lineup in 2010. He is a native of Los Angeles who went to Crenshaw High School.
