….”Countdown With Keith Olbermann.”
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” Olbermann joked in a video announcement posted to his “Fok News Channel” site on Tuesday morning.
Previously, Olbermann would only say that the show would air in “late spring.” In the video, he at last gave a specific date: Monday, June 20, at 8 PM Eastern.

WOW thats original! Olberdo.. why wont you just go away!? I say let him do whatever it is he wants to do so we can watch(not literally) him go down in flames AGAIN. Let him pump up his silly little leftist progressive show and when the ratings are lower than it was on PMSNBC there will be plenty of abuse headed his way.
8pm reaaaally Keithy! You think you can take on O’Reilly on some unknown network? BTW who is REALLY footing the bill for this network Al BORE isnt that rich! Hmmmmmm maybe we should start looking into that anyway I bet the self admitted socialist who got your slot will have higher ratings!

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 1:44pmRupert Murdoch should at least go after him for TM infringement claims since his logo is based on the Fox News Channel Logo. At least he would have to be more creative. Maybe Comcast will go after him for Copyright infringement for using the name “Countdown” if the either Copyrighted or Trademarked it for MSNBC… There could be more fireworks in store for the Narcissistic Anchor.
