'Kevin James Live' Debuts on News Talk 870 KRLA

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

News Talk 870 KRLA announces their new evening host Kevin James, former U.S. Attorney turned radio talk show personality. Beginning this week, 'Kevin James Live' featuring James' insider's perspective on high-profile local and national issues in news and entertainment, will run weeknights 9-11 p.m. on KRLA.

"Kevin James is a great fit with our conservative hosts," says KRLA Program Director Craig Edwards. "We've been looking for strong local talent to bring in to our evening line-up. "With his extensive experience in high-profile entertainment matters, he has a keen insight on issues that impact our community. You could say he's 'just right.'"

Kevin James began his professional career in 1988 as a lawyer with one of Los Angeles' largest law firms. Soon thereafter, Kevin spent more than 3 years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles, and more than 10 subsequent years as a litigator in high-profile entertainment matters, with regular radio stints to provide legal expertise and commentary to talk radio stations nationwide. In early 2004, James left the legal profession to become a full-time talk radio host, first at KTOK in Oklahoma City, then in Los Angeles where he has hosted the highly-rated all-night "Red Eye Radio" on KABC. Kevin has also served as a regular panelist for Court TV's "Catherine Crier Live" and appeared on CNN as a commentator and legal analyst.

A resident of Los Angeles for almost 20 years, James received his undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma and attended law school at the University of Houston. More information about KRLA programming and personalities is available at www.krla870.com.
