is turning to Larry King’s archive to help draw viewers to its streaming products, launching a curated collection called The Best of Larry King that will pull from decades of his interviews. The first episodes arrive this week, with new installments set to follow every Friday through June 19 on.com/Watch and on ’s subscription-based streaming app.
The collection is built from archival material and will roll out in themed batches of ten episodes each week, including Hollywood, politics, music and comedy. King died in January 2021, but his long run on remains one of the network’s most recognizable stretches of original programming. Larry King Live started in 1985 and ran until the middle of 2010, a quarter of a century that produced interviews with figures such as Ross Perot, the remaining Beatles and the spouses of Beatles members.
Amy Entelis, who described the new package as a way to bring those conversations back to audiences, said that for decades Larry King Live put viewers face to face with the people shaping the world. She added that the new collection celebrates those conversations and makes them accessible in a new way. That pitch fits a broader effort by in recent years to make money from its archive, including earlier streaming releases of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and past documentary films and series.
The move also shows how valuable the King library still is for: the network is not just preserving old interviews, it is using them as a current product for subscribers. The unanswered question is not whether the archive matters. It is how much of ’s streaming strategy can be built on the past before viewers decide they want something new.
