WASHINGTON – Liberal former MSNBC star Keith Olbermann is reportedly taking his talents to Current TV, the channel led by former Vice President Al Gore and businessman Joel Hyatt.
The New York Times scooped in a story published Monday night that people "familiar with his plans pointed to a possible deal with the public affairs channel Current TV."
Olbermann's spokespersons and Current TV executives declined to comment to the Times but didn't deny that a deal was pending. One source told the paper that Olbermann would have equity stake in Current TV.
Olbermann's public relations firm said in a press release he would make the announcement regarding his next move on Tuesday in a private news conference.
