Larry King Square Dedicated to Broadcast Icon

The corner of Sunset and Cahuenga in Hollywood was officially renamed Larry King Square by the City of Los Angeles yesterday. City Council President Eric Garcetti introduced the 74 year old broadcast journalist and talk show host after honoring him with accolades of his accomplishments in his field. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his professional journalism career.

On hand were several members of the CNN staff who did not need to travel far to attend. The square is located adjacent to CNN's west coast offices where his nationally syndicated show is taped.
