Current TV used Keith Olbermann in the wrong way & they blew it. Current TV: Major Fall.

70. I don't know what happened just what I saw.

What I saw seems to back parts of 'both sides' KO didn't seem to interact with the other programming that preceded or followed him.

His show when it debuted was of terrible quality, low sound, interference in the audio, etc. I gave up trying to watch after a few weeks of this poor quality. Somewhere down the line I saw KO off more often than not, I don't know about health issues or what not just he wasn't there. I also saw him have fewer guests than he did on his old show, mostly him 'lecturing' viewers, can't say he was responsible for the lack of guests or people didn't want to 'play ball' with him/current ie current wasn't paying these guests enough or what.

In general current programming varied from average to poor, it has gotten better over time but when KO first started both his show and the shows that came after him had pretty obvious poor production value put in them, lighting/sound technical glitches. I've seen this improve over time but there are still segments/pieces that look like they are really cheap. Does it really matter to me, no so long as I can watch and hear it, I don't need or demand stupid CNN virtual reality holodeck technology or rendered animations of things,

What happened with KO, I don't know, he seems to have issues with management, but it seems there were issues with current's management as well. I tend to think there were problems on both ends and neither side *really* tried to make it work. Having said that I think it was within Current's power to rectify most of those issues barring of course KO just not cooperating which we really can't know just from them pointing fingers.
