Keith Olbermann To Announce His Return To Television!!!


Via The Washington Post:
Just when you thought you were going to get a vacation from Keith Olbermann, a publicist has sent out word that Keith is holding a news conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday to make an "exciting announcement" regarding the "next chapter in his remarkable career." Less than a month ago, Olbermann abruptly exited MSNBC where his "Countdown" had been the network's biggest draw. Both parties remain mum in re the circumstances of the departure. At the time of his exit, the Web site The Wrap reported Olbermann had his eye on creating a media empire like that of Huffington Post (which coincidentally announced Sunday that it was being purchased by AOL for $315 million.) Late Monday, speculation focused on Olbermann delving into an internet venture while also striking a deal with Current TV -- the liberal current affairs network available in just 60 million-ish U.S. homes, mostly on the digital tier, and that is privately and independently owned by former vice president Al Gore and others. Olbermann would have an equity stake in Current TV, which is scheduled to make its "upfront" presentation to advertisers about programming plans one day after Olbermann's announcement, noted the New York Times. Olberman is presumed to be precluded from having a regular TV gig for some set period, per terms of his exit from MSNBC.
TEAM OLBERMANN!!!
