Current TV must have some pretty pathetic programming

Current TV is mostly homosexual agenda programing.

>>From 15 to 150!<<

I was thinking from 1 to 100. And 95 of those 100 would be W. Pitt...

Keep laughing, FRetard player haters. Now that Olbermann's got total control over the creative and editorial content of his show, he's going to crush your precious Fox News 10 to 1 in the ratings. 10 to 1!

He'll have 200 million people turning in every night. They'll have to create a whole new internet just to contain the awesomeness of his new show! By this time next year, nobody will even remember Limbaugh or Hannity or Beck. KO won't even take time out in his show to laugh at them. They'll be so irrelevant, no one will even remember their names!

Olbermann will be unstoppable1!1!11!! His ratings will fly into the stratosphere! They'll fly like a rocket fueled by rainbows, unicorn blood and pure Colombian cocaine! They'll ... Wait!? Who are you people? Take this straightjack off! Unhand me! Oh, crazy am I?! You'll see! You'll see!! Olbermann will be number oneeeeeeee!

It’s true that it will boost ratings but only for those that get upper tier cable and it won’t even register on the charts. “Would you like fries with that?”

I think you are being too optimistic. I would guess it will shoot up into the high two-figures category.

lol, I went to that channel just curious what it was when it appeared on DirectTV.

They were putting on a show how it is justified to take criminal action against carbon emitters if governments don’t.

This is the crazy crazy left channel. Even tries to convince the viewer that the government is more socialist in its roots and the current capitalist system is a perversion of history.

Sum it up, the channel is all about “all the world’s problems from natural disasters to wars are directly related to capitalism”

Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Harrigan predicted that Olbermann's return to the TV screen would mean "a huge impact on ratings" at the network. He estimated that the current average primetime viewership in the 20,000-30,000 range could multiply ten-fold or even more.

If any one thinks that is going to happen to a channel with no identity, they are just pimping some Current TV stock. Oh, wait...

“Keith Olbermann Could Boost Ratings for Current TV Tenfold”

Was that Tenfold? Or Tent Fold?

You are not crazy. In fact, you could be a writer on Olbermann's show!

I'll tell you who is crazy, though; whoever paid Keith $7 million a year and then forked over $14 Million to buy out the last two years of his contract. It works out to about $600 Thousand per viewer.
