How Many Will Watch The Premiere Of 'Countdown With Keith Olbermann' on Current TV? (Poll) By Bill Gorman – June 15, 2011

Keith Olbermann returns to the cable news world on Monday (6/20) when his new Countdown With Keith Olbermann premieres on Current TV at 8pm Eastern.

How many viewers will watch the premiere?

Here are some data points:

Current TV is in about 59 million US TV households (compared to CNN/HLN: 101m, FNC: 99 million, MSNBC: 95m)

Here were the 8pm viewerships for cable news networks on Tuesday, 6/14 (FNC: 2.661m, MSNBC 0.895m, CNN 0.449m, HLN 1.617m) Sadly, we do not have Current TV show ratings in our typical data inventory for comparison.

While I’ll make the poll for the premiere night only, feel free to make guesses about future days, weeks or months in the comments.

Keith who? I thought he voted himself worst person in the world and jumped off a bridge.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

My brother told me he watched it tonight. He said Sarah Palin made #3 Worst Person in the World.

I’m pretty sure that none of our televisions are able to tune in to Current TV.

[bigheadfred]

He said Sarah Palin made #3 Worst Person in the World.

THAT'S IT! If he can't keep her at #1 why WOULD I watch?????/c

[SusaninOhio]

That’s probably healthy.

[bigheadfred]

Who were first and second worst?

Yeah, sure. Pretend like you didn't watch...teehee

[Colonel Kangaroo]

1st worst was the whining woman on the subway who protested that she was “well-educated” and the 2nd worst was Chris Wallace. My brother says the other highlight was an imitation of Mark Levin. Sounds like a barrel of fun tonight.

[Grey Eagle]

Boring. I’ll watch a movie.

[Bronzy]

When I had DirecTV, I never stayed on Current channel more than 15 seconds. Nothing there interested me.
