There are a lot of interviews around with Keith Olbermann as he promotes his debut on Current TV. Here's another one. Olbermann's new show debuts June 20 and I just took a Season Pass for it on my TiVo.
Here's my prediction. I think he'll have arguable success with it. The argument that he isn't successful will be that he'll be reaching fewer viewers and that there will be whole areas where his show is not available. The argument that he is successful will be that he will boost the profile of Current TV and increase its overall reach to the point where its investors will be very happy they snagged him…or at least will say they are. And I'll also predict some controversies where Olbermann will claim that pressure is being exerted on certain cable companies to drop or not add Current TV in order to suppress his program.
