After two weeks of speculation, Keith Olbermann announced he will host a new nightly hour-long primetime news and commentary show on Current TV, the low-rated network co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore. During today's conference call, the network did not specify exactly when the show, billed as an "amplified and stronger" version of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, would air other than to say "later in 2011." Olbermann will also have an equity stake in the company and serve as Chief News Officer, working with Current TV's staff and developing new content for the network.

Current TV is a great and very active site with a very active forum section which also use to happen here too? Also since the sale of the Huff Post to AOL tens of thousands of their members are leaving and signing up with Current TV. There are over 200,000 members and the broadcasts go out to 75 million. Al Gore is a co-founder.
