Where Does Olbermann Go Now?
|
 Answers to the question few are asking, except maybe The Atlantic...
CBS: Not impossible.
While the expression of interest could hint that the network could reconsider him for some position, a statement by Sandy Socolow, Walter Cronkite's final executive producer, suggests the network would never take the risk at a news gig. "Oh, no, no, no, he's not a newsman," she said. "He's not a reporter. I've never seen anything that he's done that was original, in terms of the information."
That's considered "not impossible"?
News Corp: Don't bet on it.
Olbermann left Rupert Murdoch's Fox Sports acrimoniously and Murdoch told The New Yorker "I fired him... He's crazy."
OK.Not looking good there...
HBO: Not impossible.
If the premium cable network wanted a less funny, newsier voice to add to its lineup, Olbermann would be the guy. He certainly would fit with its liberal programming bent.
...and because HBO isn't hemmorraging enough subcribers lately.
ESPN: Forget about it.
An ESPN official was quoted saying Olbermann "didn't burn the bridges here, he napalmed them."
I'm detecting a trend.
MSNBC: Forget about it.
By all accounts, Olbermann drove MSNBC executives and his underlings up the wall.
I'm detecting a trend becoming a psychosis.
CNN: Not impossible.
CNN has aggressively considered Olbermann as a hire in the past but ultimately decided he was too left-of-center for the brand.
Is this the same CNN that's on cable in this country, or another CNN that I don't know about?
KOTV? Not impossible.
It certainly worked for Glenn Beck, as GBTV was reportedly on track to take in $20 million in revenue for its debut year.
Yeah, but Beck has these things called "viewers".
I'm thinking Farm Reports. Or worse, maybe Oprah TV...
