Can Keith Olbermann increase the audience at Al Gore’s Current TV? Well, let’s just say that the bar has been set pretty damn low.
The Hollywood Reporter has the devastating details:
Olbermann’s Current show will likely premiere in late May, when the non-compete clause in his exit agreement with NBC Universal will have reached its conclusion. Sources tell THR that that agreement also stipulates that Olbermann cannot work for any network considered a competitor.
“He had no choice but to go to a place like Current because his non-compete excluded just about every other place,” said an MSNBC insider.
Current averaged 18,000 homes in primetime for fourth quarter 2010, lower than any other network measured by Nielsen.
They averaged just 18,000 homes? For god’s sake, man, that’s pathetic. When a network has fewer viewers than IHateTheMedia.com has readers, you have nowhere to go but up.
As we reported the other day, MSNBC’s ratings have completely tanked since Olbermann was unceremoniously shown the door. The universe of far left television have proven to be a mere sliver of the population, so one would assume that there will be a direct relationship between any increase in Current TV viewers and a decrease in MSNBC viewers.
“It needs salt,” one cannibal said to another.

No... not a coward. You are though. You attack people you don't know thinking the virtual anonymity of the internet is enough to keep you safe from reprisals. Please post your home address I am sure that someone you insulted here, that may live near you would love to pay you a visit.
Is the shift key on your computer broken "david"? I regret the way we speak about your boyfriend here. Maybe Huffpo would be more to your licking?
Unlike those democratic state senators in Wisconsin today who bravely fled the state and are in hiding to avoid a their duty of voting on a bill, right?
Another satisfied customer.
Come on now, don't take this crap seriously...look who we're dealing with!
Too Right... Keith Olbermann, the less masculine version of Rachel Maddow.
Keith who?
Olbermann hates all women because he hated his mother.He saw his mother getting hit with a ball at yankee stadium.His mother was waring a Fox news hat at the time.He found out that she was taking limo's home from the stadium and was doing nasty things with the drivers.
The diploma he received from Cornell university that he flashes all the time was in fact for milking cows.
This is the same "news organization" that sent it's so called reporters to North Korea causing an international incident, costing the US government millions and requiring Former Potus clinton to fly to North Korea to "rescue" the idiots.
Error bars are bigger than that. Totally bogus statistic.
.0058% of the population? How the hell do you measure that small? I got a huski that says it is pure BS.
and 1 of those viewers was me ;)
