At one point, A&E’s “Live PD!” was the #1 most watched show on cable TV…and then the death of George Floyd, among others, changed the country’s focus on law enforcement…and in the wake of protests across the country, A&E cancelled the show.
After that, co-host Sean “Sticks” Larkin retired from the Tulsa Police Dept. after almost 25 years…but then the improbable happened!
The Reelz network brought back the series, now under the name “On Patrol:LIVE!”…and lightning struck again!!
Over the last 2 weeks, it’s been the #1 most watched show on cable!!
We got Sticks on the phone to congratulate him on the show’s success!!
PLUS…
Kyle Petty family legacy in NASCAR is the stuff of legend.
His grandfather Lee was a driver. His father Richard, known as “The King”, is hailed as one of the greatest drivers ever, and his son Adam was a rising star before sadly passing in an accident during a practice session in 2000.
But from Kyle’s early days in North Carolina, starting his career in his teens, to his success in NASCAR, and all of the unbelievable family stories in between…the good, bad and tragic…Kyle tells it all in his new book, “Swerve or Die: Life at My Speed in the First Family of NASCAR Racing”…and we had the honor of talking to Kyle about it this morning!
