The popular Libertarian occupied the 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. time slot, which will now be filled by guest hosts.
KABC, one of the largest AM radio stations in Los Angeles, has parted ways with Larry Elder, one of the channel's most popular talk-show hosts.
The station, owned by Cumulus Media, declined to comment on Elder's departure, though insiders said advertising sales executives were blindsided by the decision and voiced their displeasure to a defensive Drew Hayes, KABC's operations director.
Elder, a sometimes controversial, always passionate and eloquent Libertarian, had been with KABC for about 20 years, though separated into multiple stints.

It’s very sad because I used to like Hewitt but can’t really stand to listen to him any more.
Another “Hands up, don’t shoot” victim? I really liked the guy.
no idea
Cumulus is a train wreck, period!
I think he will make more money at his website and podcasts. People use their smartphones as radios and choose not just radio stations but podcasts.
Adam Carolla show has 10’s of million of downloads a year. He is bigger then most radio station and tv shows.

If Salem gets rid of Hugh Hewitt then we won’t be able to eavesdrop on what the GOPe has in store for us. Well, I guess there will still be Medved.
Salem Broadcasting, the Home of RINO Radio.
Is there an app that downloads the show automatically?
Joe Crummey did the show today and he's pretty conservative. Look for Mark Levin to be live again 3-6 pm and maybe Crummey going to 6-9 pm.
I never had 790 except maybe Hannity but he’s more lefty than I thought. At least here in LA, KFI has been “OK”.
They probably rid of him to save money.
Cumulus did that a few years ago with the KGO hosts.
Could be ... but I bet he’s snapped up real quick by some conservative station. He won’t be out of work long.
Well unlike the two hosts you mentioned Larry Elder is certainly no cheerleader for the GOPe and he’s taken them to task multiple times on his radio show. He’ll show up on the radio again and hopefully instead of a local show in Los Angeles he’ll be given a national one. His voice needs to be out there around the country.
You are right.
I did not listen to Elder enough.
He is among the best social and political analysts.
His show also was fun.
