2. He's partnered with Current Media. He'll have a nightly show and he will also be in charge of news.

4. It's official now!
http://current.com/keith-olbermann/


Keith Olbermann, the acclaimed broadcaster and writer whose verbal pyrotechnics and moral passion have outraged, informed, and dazzled viewers of "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" for the past eight years, is bringing his slashing wit, analytical eye, and distinctive commentary to Current Media, the Emmy® and Peabody Award-winning TV and digital media company that was founded in 2005 by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt and is now distributed in more than 75 million households around the world. The news was announced today in New York.

In addition to executive producing and hosting a new nightly primetime news and commentary show, Keith Olbermann will also serve as the company's Chief News Officer and will have an equity stake in Current Media.

6. I thought this was going to be a step down, but if he's going to be RUNNING the show
as well as starring in one, that's worth upping my cable fee for. But how MUCH later in 2011 are we talking about? And will Comcast put them into the first tier? Anyway, CUE THE VONAGE THEME!

:woohoo:
