Sounds Like Keith Olbermann Is Already On The Outs With Al Gore's Current TV Glynnis MacNicol \| Dec. 30, 2011, 10:58 AM \| 2,781 \| 11 A A A inShare3 That was fast. Keith Olbermann, who began his much-publicized tenure at Al Gore's Current TV this summer is apparently already on the outs with management there. So much so, he is reportedly being left out of upcoming election coverage specials. Brian Stelter at the New York Times writes that Olbermann will be notably absent from Current's upcoming two hours specials on the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. Instead they will be hosted by Cenk Uygur and former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm with appearances by Al Gore, who the NYT notes, usually stays behind the scenes at Current. Olbermann, who was hired to revamp the network, has a history of contentious relations with his employers. He unceremoniously departed MSNBC last January after falling out with the network. A month later it was announced he was moving to Al Gore's Current TV where he was named Chief News Operator, received equity in the company along with a rumored high seven figure paycheck, and launched a show this June. Olbermann's large MSNBC audience, however, in large part failed to follow him to his new show. The NYT reports Olbermann may not be fully aware of Current's political coverage plans. He tells Stelter his show is set to air live on Tuesday, the night of the Iowa Caucus, even though Current's TV schedule says it will be pre-empted by their caucus special.
