Another L.A. Radio Departure

As the Morning Extravaganza leaves Los Angeles (with a hard G) airwaves (unless you live in Lancaster), another Los Angeles deejay (better known nationally for other things) is also leaving:

Comedian Steve Harvey has signed off for the final time after five years hosting a morning radio show that delivered one-liners, political commentary and hip-hop.

"The Steve Harvey Morning Show" on KKBT-FM featured a mix of Harvey's advocacy for the city's black community, ruminations on everyday life and interviews with local and national political figures. The show, which also aired in Dallas, ended Friday....

The WB network also announced this week it was canceling Harvey's TV variety show, "Steve Harvey's Big Time Challenge."...

Harvey was featured in the 2000 standup comedy film "The Original Kings of Comedy," and appeared last year in "You Got Served" and "Johnson Family Vacation."
