Wow, 93,000 viewers. That’s hugh, Keith! Local Cable Access shows on quilting probably net about the same number of viewers.

Current TV CEO Not Worried About Keith Olbermann’s Ratings Drop

I believe the head of CBS News said precisely the same thing when Katie Couric's ratings nosed over into a power dive about three weeks after her first broadcast.

DailyKos has been trying to get their followers to boost the ratings at Current TV and make it an alternative news source to CNN and MSNBC because they are too conservative!

I guess the plan is not working too well.

Okay, I must sound like a idiot here....I’ve heard about Current TV, but what are they and where are they located?

Are they on cable or the internet?

Apparently, Mark Rosenthal is in denial and/or simply loves flushing $10-100 million down the toilet..... =.=

Mark Rosenthal, CEO of Current TV, uses the sports metaphor to express his lack of concern over the second-week ratings drop for Keith Olbermann’s Countdown.

This guy is a liar when he says he doesn't care. He and olbermann deserve each other.

Yeah, but it may not cost Current as much as you think. Remember, Olbermann bragged about joining the network as an “equity partner” when he signed on. That means that a portion of his check is going to be based on ratings and the sharing of ad revenue. No ratings = no revenue, so Keith will earn only a fraction of what he was paid at MSNBC.

Hehehe...couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

Apparently Mr. Rosenthal, unconcerned about ratings, is running CurrentTV as a charity for wanna-be-journalists.
