Current? Is that the channel right above Bloomberg that shows Rotten Tomatoes and The Onion? How fitting.

“Sources claim Olbermann would have an equity stake in Current TV, and a public relations agency hired by the host has already scheduled a Tuesday morning call for “an exciting announcement regarding the next chapter in (Olbermann’s) remarkable career.”

TRANSLATION:

Wealthy and savvy enough to have hired a decent PR firm to have done a “grey” source job on his last-ditch effort at staying on the air, Olbermann succeeded in making his downward-move seem nearly “exciting.” He will naturally endure a major pay cut in this move to a network which is almost entirely devoid of advertisers or listeners; remuneration will therefore include a worthless stock / equity package.

This is such old news in the communications world...we knew this was going on the day after he got canned.

Anyway, viewership of Current IS is available in 30 million homes nationwide in the US, with plans underway for several international versions.

In late 2009, after the announcement of the Comcast-NBC merger, Comcast Corporation submitted a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission that revealed it owns a ten percent stake of Current Media LLC.

Gore & Olbermann. A fitting combo.

IMO, threads like these are ads for the network. Unintended, no doubt, but effective ads nonetheless.

Current TV is adopting the Air America business model.

re: “According to the NY Times, Olbermann will announce Tuesday his plans to work with Current TV”

Thus his career has now completely disappeared down the toilet.

Olberman is reminiscent of Hitler and Stalin. If this scary little brain were to achieve a position of power instead of that of a socialist lapdog, I guarantee mass murder would follow.

History is filled with tiny brained self proclaimed intellectuals like Olderdouche who are just plain f@kin nuts.

According to the NY Times, Olbermann will announce Tuesday his plans to work with Current TV, a public affairs channel founded by Al Gore and other independent backers.
