Current TV dumps KO

They already have that show. It's called "Clubhouse Confidential" and Brian Kenny is doing a damn good job with it.

Indeed - - and one of the best shows was when Kenny had Olbermann as a guest.

 

Ha! Having established my current career thanks in large part to a beachhead I established with Tony...I can concur.

 

I rode a ferry across the North Sea once called Reine Astrid. Never puked more in my life.

 

Current TV to be acquired by Al-Jazeera:

Al-Jazeera is a top-notch news gathering organization that rivals the BBC. I'm guessing the liberal slant will be kiboshed quickly.

 

Would be funny if they bring KO back, so we can say he works for Al-Jazeera.

 

From Al Gore to Al Jezeera.

 

The deal comes several months after Messrs. Gore and Hyatt, the two largest owners of Current TV, put the channel on the market.

Mr. Hyatt said they agreed to sell to al-Jazeera in part because "al-Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current," including "to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard" and "to speak truth to power." Other suitors who didn't share Current's ideology were rebuffed. Glenn Beck's The Blaze approached Current about buying the channel last year, but was told that "the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view," according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Launched in 2005, with a focus on user-generated content, Current has evolved in recent years into a left-leaning professionally produced outlet. But it has struggled to boost its ratings—parting ways with its most prominent host Keith Olbermann last March—and gain broad distribution. Current had 59 million subscribers in 2012, according to SNL Kagan, out of a total pay television universe of about 100 million households.

Time Warner Cable already blocked the channel. Scary mooslims.
