Dr. Laura Signs Deal With SiriusXM Radio

Talk show host Laura Schlessinger has signed a multi-year deal with Sirius XM Radio, a prematurely published Associated Press report says.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

According to the report, Schlessinger's syndicated advice program, Dr. Laura, will end on traditional radio Dec. 31. She begins at Sirius on Monday, Jan. 3.

Schlessinger found herself in hot water when she used the N-word on her show while speaking to a black female caller. In August, days after the controversy, she said on CNN's Larry King Live that she would quit her program after the contract ended. Sirius' talk programming head Jeremy Coleman contacted her, according to Schlessinger.
