Prosecutor at Front of Wave of O.J.-Related Programming

O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark will launch a new career next week, becoming a weekend host on talk radio station KFI-AM (640).

Clark’s program is scheduled to air from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, beginning Sept. 2.

“I love radio,” Clark said, stressing that the show will be about “anything and everything,” without any special emphasis on legal issues or guests.

On Sundays, Clark’s show will compete with feminist attorney Gloria Allred’s weekend program on talk rival KABC-AM (790), heard from 4 to 7 p.m. Allred’s show starts at 6 p.m. on Saturdays.

Beyond Clark’s radio show, the fall will feature multiple TV projects related to the Simpson trial--including the CBS miniseries “American Tragedy,” based on Lawrence Schiller’s book about the inner workings of Simpson’s defense team. Simpson recently sought to legally block that production, which is scheduled for broadcast in November.

Several lawyers associated with the trial, meanwhile, will appear in a new syndicated TV program, “Power of Attorney,” designed to catch the “Judge Judy” wave.

The series features attorneys such as Allred, Clark’s fellow prosecutor Christopher Darden and defense attorney F. Lee Bailey battling it out representing ordinary people in legal disputes.

Since leaving the district attorney’s office in early 1997 and securing representation by the William Morris Agency, Clark has co-written a best-selling memoir about the Simpson case, “Without a Doubt.”

She was also slated to host a TV show titled “LadyLaw” that failed to materialize.
