Time for Keith to start his own Internet broadcast. Agree or not? Why?
My bet is that it would become so big that broadcaast networks and cable channels would be fighting for the chance to air him (except Fox, of course.)

2. He can do that, of course. However, the number of people following
it would be even less than his viewers on MSNBC. I hope he does, but I doubt that he will.

5. It would be hard to stop him I bet.
He could have contract language that prevents him from working for someone else, but he could become self-employed and start a small business.

Freedom of speech, ya know.

6. ABC morning news was crowing about him being gone and
the talking head said that Keith has agreed not to take a position with any other outlet for an "extended" period of time. Internet broadcast may be a good way to circumvent that. I'm certain there are a number of talented people who would be willing to serve as research staff and in production.
