''Current TV will premiere its much-anticipated week-nightly commentary show with Keith Olbermann on 20 June [USA time],'' the news channel says in a press statement.
''The show, to be called Countdown with Keith Olbermann marks the return to the airwaves for Olbermann, one of journalism's most provocative and outspoken voices, on independently-owned Current TV, which was founded in 2005 by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt and is now distributed in more than 75 million households around the world.''
''The show will combine familiar and popular features with some new elements that we can't wait to unveil,'' says Current TV. ''We're creating a great platform for Keith's style, which includes a very sophisticated digital presence for him — that we think will appeal to his very enthusiastic and active following. The show will also appeal to new viewers tuning into Keith for the first time.''
