Keith Olbermann to debut "Countdown" on June 20 at 8 P.M. at "Current TV."
Edited on Thu May-12-11 09:57 PM by Cal33
Among his crew will be Michael Moore, Ken Burns, Richard Lewis.... Sounds like a great team!
Keith did say months ago that he'd start at Current TV in late spring. I didn't think it
would be this late. It's the very last day of spring. On June 21 summer officially begins.

It would have been nice if he could have started sooner, but I wish him and his gang All The
Best, anyway. These guys will expose every cockamaymee lie the Repubs. come up with, and
regale them with the truth, confronting them each and every time, and make them eat their own
dirty words. This is what I hope will happen.

It is time that Dems. regained the upper-hand again, since we have the truth on our side.
When pressed with "Give 'em hell, Harry. Truman used to reply, "We don't have to give
'em hell. All we have to do is tell the truth, and they think it's hell !"

Those days will be coming again before long.

1. Will I be able to get this without spending any more of my pitiful income?
I'm hoping I can see it online, and see some places, but can't seem to elicit the correct info for viewing. If someone has that info readily available, I would so appreciate your advising me.

4. If you have cable you should be able to get Current. I think most

of the major Cable Cos have it in their line-up. We have Tme/Warner and it's on Ch 145 where we live. So, no, if you already have Cable you should not have to spend any more than you are already. Just check your cable guide to see which channel it's on.

If you don't have cable, then you'll have to try to get it online. I'm sure people will put it on Utube and post it here, the best parts anyhow. So no matter what, I think you'll see some of it, like Keith's special comments eg.

Here's a link to their website http://current.com/shows/# You can check which channel you can get it on there and look around to see what you can get online. I just watched an interview with Kucinich about ending the war eg. I think Keith is going to really boost their ratings. Good move for him and them.

5. Hi Juajen: Just Google "Current TV." Click the third article on the first page,
"Current TV Schedule" and the information is given in the right hand column,
which numbers are for which cables.

The first two articles also give information on where Current TV programs
appear on Facebook, Tweet, YouTube ... etc ...

I feel sure you will get Olbermann in one of these places. Good luck.

6. I am sorry, it's the second article "Current TV / Current.." About 18 inches
to 2 feet down, on the right side there is a column showing which channels on
Cable TV, Direct TV...etc... Current TV is on.

2. Very Nice!
Now if only MediaCom in Iowa had that in their basic cable package. Heck, I'll email them a letter to "encourage" them to add Current TV, and ask friends to do the same.

7. I hope to be at a Little Feat concert
at the Cains Ballroom, Tulsa OK.
http://www.cainsballroom.com/history

I've seen some good acts here over the years with Taj Mahal at the top, a pretty cool Merle Haggard once also. Merle's was free and in the middle of the day as they were recording the session to make an album. Too many years ago for me to remember the name of the album though. I remember the show though and it was good.

Taj Mahal at a small venue such as the Cains is was some kind of awesome. He sang and played for hours, I think we finally left about 2:30 AM and he and his band came on within a few minutes of 10:00 pm . Oooh So Good N Blues has to be one of his best albums. I wore the damn thing out playing it so much :-)
