I was pleased to hear that Keith Olbermann has a new gig at Current TV.
In his new role, Olbermann will debut a new nightly show sometime in “late Spring.” The five-nights-a-week show will air in primetime (the exact timeslot, along with the precise start date are still undetermined), and Olbermann described it as “an improved and amplified” version of Countdown. The show will be produced at studios in New York City.
In addition to hosting the new show, Olbermann will consult and executive produce additional programming for Current, which could include bringing new hosts to the network as part of a primetime lineup of news and politics.
I thought I’d celebrate with a limerick:
Keith’s Current News
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Keith’s been hired by Current TV.
Will he rescue Gore’s baby? We’ll see.
He’ll be back to reports
That are newsy — not sports.
It bodes well for progressive esprit.
(My Limerick Ode To Keith Olbermann on his MSNBC departure is here.)
