Why Lars Larson Will Be Around For a Good While

If you wake up in Portland every morning hoping to discover that video has finally killed the radio star, you'd best crawl back into bed for the next five years. Lars Larson has signed a five-year deal with Alpha Broadcasting's KXL-AM to continue his two daily talk shows through 2014.

The two-time Emmy award-winner has hosted a conservative radio talk show on KXL since 1995. The Lars Larson Show airs on 18 stations in Oregon and Washington and 150 stations nationally.

"President Obama only has a little over 3 years left in his term, but I'll be here long after he's out of office!" Larson declared in a press release.

Fair enough, Lars. Just keep away from our Blazers.
