Please, please tell us what date Keith will air his first broadcast. Late spring is driving me crazy. A date please.

Yeah, buddy! Fans can't wait!

I just found out how Olbermann ended up at Current ...

Don't forget you can post ideas for the show at this link.

http://current.com/keith-olbermann/discuss/93005126_what-are-some-ways-keith-olb...

I'm waiting ever so patiently.......

I hope they build it next to FOX "News".

I don't understand how MSNBC let their biggest star with the biggest group of followers go like that...I'm sure they regretted it. I'm just glad Keith chose Current, before he came on board, I have never heard of Current, now I'm always watching it.

I never heard of current TV until the keith olbermann story

Adding Keith Olbermann to Current TV's lineup is genius. A lot of people I know will tune in just to watch his show. Great way to line up new viewership IMO.

I really appreciate this news! Can't wait for his show to start! My problem is that my cable provider doesn't carry CurrentTV (Cox Cable, Las Vegas, NV) I'm thinking about signing up with Cingular and thier PrismTV/phone/internet package, just so I can get Kieth! Anybody have any feedback on this?

Also: Suggestion; howabout some sort of link following construction progress, first guests, reporting team, etc? Hey C'mon, were starving here...

And while you're at it, how about talking Rachel into jumping ship and joining Kieth in NY? Kieth with Rachel Maddow as a co-anchor would be incredible....or I'd settle for back-to-back shows as they had on MSNBC... Rachel is lost there now, surrounded by bufoons. (Okay, Lawrence is a smart bufoon).

Just watched the vid.
I wonder what Current is doing with Vanguard. Will it be under Olbermann (CNO)?

Joel Hyatt, thanks for giving Keith Olbermann back to America. Time is a wasting!! We need Keith back ASAP messaging how Republicans and the super rich are waging war on the middle class and his discussions on how the middle class can win this war!!

Waste of money. Money that could have been spent on good programming.

I think Keith will bring a lot more attention to the good things here at Current TV.

wonder what all the critics of Keith think now??

"Olbermann is just a pompous, over-bearing windbag who is so busy presenting Facts in an entertaining manner that irritates people that he will never meet the Power, the Majesty or the Sheer Ignorance of the O'Really Factor."

Or words to that effect :)

longest tease ever

WOW!! This is wonderful, shows just how relevant Keith is , wonder what all the
critics of Keith think now??

Keith made MSNBC what it is today, they wouldn't be as big as they are today without him, I have been following Keith Olbermann since 2005, and Mr. Olbermann will make Current TV a great success bringing all his followers with him. happy happy joy joy!

wow!!! lots of corporate money being spent on that one...i am sure they will get their money back somehow...

::doing the happy dance::

I hope Keith Olbermann's new studio has a nice street view like his old studio had.

Yeaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Keith!!!!! Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! I miss you. I am loooking forward to him being able to speak freely and not have TPTB slap him down every time he colors outside the lines. That does get old fast.

Thank you Joel Hyatt. Would you hire some extra workers? Were in a hurry for Keith. He's the best.

Maybe Olbermann has been searching for the invisible hand that guides Obama down the Bush path of unrighteousness. If Kieth shows up at Current studios and tells us that Obama was put into office only to allow easily, a Republican controlled House and that everything happens because it is by design, he will have nothing to talk about. Kieth should have told the Tea Party that Ayn Rand was an atheist; don't you think keeping that from them is too unkind?

I don't have cable or satelite TV. So I am wondering if his show will be posted on this web site? I was only able to watch him before on MSNBC's web site. I sure hope that the leaders of CURRENT figure this one out. Otherwise my coming to this web site will be pretty pointless. Don't get me wrong, I do love the community that I have found here, but the only reason I came here to start with was because of Olberman.

union contractors-- right?

I'm already missing the christmas tree bit.

Good stuff!

TommyNY, thanks for this thread. It is always good to read about the 'Adventures of KO'. I am so pumped by Al's and Joel's vision for CurrentTV and their expressed appreciation of KO and FOK.

come on Keith,,, we need you!!

interesting in that
the steps olbermann has made
leaving espn
leaving msnbc
came with a flurry and flood of negative commentary
when in reality of actuality
it has been a better step

espn ----> msnbc -----> current tv

so
manhattan?
a new yorker through n through?
is it the yankees?
the mets?
no... really?

who would have thunk...

awesome!

So happy to hear, I know Keith loves New York. Best move he ever made was to get out of MSNBC. Current TV will be of interest to all. But I've always loved Current. Thanks you for the great news. #FOK

I think I'm getting a tingling feeling up my leg.

Damn it Matthews! Get off my leg!

I'm confident Keith will take this opportunity to shine. Free of GE's leash he will be even more independent than at MSNBC. I don't see this becoming an hour long shit fight between KO and the likes of O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Beck. There's bigger fish to fry than those bush league shock jock entertainers. I think there will be a vision of what a real progressive news show is like once Keith takes the reins as news director of Current.

Thanks for posting this TommyNY! I can't wait for Keith's show to debut! I'll love seeing him again. I've watched him all the 8 years he was on COUNTDOWN. I'm a huge fan of him. Thanks Current for bringing Keith onboard! :)))

Would be great to see them set up a citizen journalist studio that would allow people out here to report on important events with an independent perspective free of political bias or influence as well. The perspective we see very little of in cable news which is why I don't watch it. I think people are really tired of the divisiveness and want independent voices that tell it like it is in appealing to humans in general who share and are affected by the same issues in ways that give us perspective and solutions. I hope that is truly what Mr. Olbermann is looking to do, because from what I have seen of his blog he only appears to want to bash the right. Not that they don't deserve some, but I don't want to see it 24 /7 on Current, and I'm even changing my cable provider so I can get the station. I really do wish them the best. Oh, and hint: I'm only across the river and would come work for you in a heartbeat too if you ever put out a call. ;-). It's time for some truth in our media.

Keith let's go! We need you!

yeah yeah... but what are they going to do to fix the "current" problems... giving Keith a studio is not going bring back pods, VC2 and all the other goodies that have been destroyed

Can't wait.
I am a big fan of Keith and have been for years.
I get Current on my cable and I'am now a frequent viewer, and looking forward for the changes to come! Thanks all at Current!

KO! Please bring us a morning show so we can start our day with some honest facts! Hate the crap (Joe & his blonde sidekick) msnbc put out every day. Then please come back in the evening and make night time news worth watching once again!

I hope Keith does stuff with us. My biggest fear with this is that with him coming on, current would become less community oriented over time.

Give the guy a cubicle. That is what he is worth.

Tommy
Do you know the location?

Yay! It's coming together, I can't wait to see Keith Olbermann again.
