1. Thank you for posting...

...this. Go, Keith!

3. i can't wait! and i think they are hoping that he will bring his audience to

current tv which i bet it will. I do not have cable but have an internet streaming device called a roku. one of the channels is 'newscasters' where i watch rachel maddow. wish they had o'donnell and ed schultz. but they have current tv on there which i haven't really looked at honestly. i am hoping keith will be available that way.

4. Sounds wonderful. I look forward to seeing a Keith O free of corporate constraints.

I think this move will be good for him. He looks wonderful... and happier, too.

5. A FAQ

My FAQ for this wonderful news is:

HOW DO I GET MY CABLE COMPANY (Charter) to carry CURRENT TV by June 20?

I would appreciate something that involves little more than a few mouse clicks. I don't want anything that takes too much time and effort and skill.

10. here's their website

http://current.com/ maybe they have something there to help you ask your cable provider. we used to have satellite but dumped in in november. all internet streaming here and off air. so i am hoping it will be available for me as well.

16. Got It! Channel 196..l Thanks For The Link. Too Bad So Many Won't Be Able To

see him though. Many of my friends don't have all channels and won't get Current TV.

Good Luck to Keith, I'm waiting.

6. Any word if it'll be live streamed?

I'm Current TV-less as I assume many Olbermann fans are.

15. press release for those on dial-up

Here’s the release from Current TV:

NEW YORK – April 26, 2011 – Current TV, the Emmy® and Peabody Award-winning TV and digital network, will premiere its much-anticipated week-nightly commentary show with Keith Olbermann, the acclaimed broadcaster, writer and commentator, on June 20, 2011 AT 8 p.m. ET.

The show, to be called “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” marks the return to the airwaves for Olbermann, one of journalism’s most provocative and outspoken voices, on independently-owned Current, which was founded in 2005 by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt and is now distributed in more than 75 million households around the world.

Olbermann’s decision to join Current was announced in February. In addition to executive producing and hosting his show, Olbermann was appointed as Current’s Chief News Officer.

17. See what the right agent can do for a person?

Keith and Current, they will do each other good. Current is very much worth his time, and ours. They are my favorite channel, and he is my favorite news and commentary guy, and the only person who has ever made me understand baseball even in the slightest.

18. Ohhhh shit!

This is great. "More pointed commentary", free of M$GECast control, and retaining the Countdown name.

Can't wait.
