Further to the Olbermann story... there's this from NewsBusters: A self-proclaimed media insider made the same observation at the far-left website Daily Kos Friday:
It will happen (so I'm told) on the channel now known as Versus. It's a sports channel owned by Comcast, and the story I'm hearing is that it will be rebranded as NBC Sportschannel once the takeover is complete, with Keith as its star personality.
If Comcast was going to move Olbermann to its own sports channel, why would they humiliate him this way first?
Fans know Versus has the NHL's teevee contract, for now. If there is any one single thing that could make me quit watching hockey it would be the appearance... however brief it might be... of Olbermann on a hockey broadcast. The reason for serious worry rests with the fact Versus really only broadcasts two sports: hockey and professional rodeo, three if you count the Tour De France. But only people named "Lance" watch the TdF. The rest of Versus' programming is fishing and hunting shows and weak-ass attempts at sports talk shows, all of which... the talk shows... fail sooner or later. I don't think I have to worry, though, as KO doesn't "get" hockey... as far as I know. Or so I hope, anyhoo. I will say this, though: hockey pucks and KO have a lot in common intellect-wise, with the edge going to the pucks.
