Laura Schlessinger, the radio talk- show host who apologized last week for repeatedly using a racial slur on the air, said she will end the program when her contract expires at the end of this year.
“I’ve made the decision not to do radio anymore,” Schlessinger, known as “Dr. Laura,” said yesterday on CNN’s “Larry King Live.” “It’s time to move on to other venues where I could say my piece and not have to live in fear anymore that sponsors and their families are going to be upset.”
