Verizon quietly drops CurrentTV and Olbermann

It's odd that Verizon didn't announce the change in their in-system "news" page. I check that daily, because they sometimes have free offers to watch HBO for a week, etc. And it lists channel changes in the VerizonFIOS lineup. Usually the changes involve, say, dropping channels like "Lifetime Fitness", and the news comes about a month before the channel is dropped and a new one added.

But, on Thursday, Verizon dropped CurrentTV, with no announcement, for, at least, subscribers in Massachusetts.

The timing seems interesting, with Keith Olbermann's appearance on Monday.

Perhaps someone from Verizon can illuminate the issue. I'd love to know why this cable change wasn't handled like all the other changes.
