Why I don't watch Keith Olbermann -
Per Current TV. http://getsatisfaction.com/currentcom/topics/put_countdown_on_roku_newscaster

"Excerpts from each night’s show and exclusive online-only segments with Keith Olbermann will be available on www.current.com/Countdown. Select video clips will also be available through sites like Hulu and YouTube. However, his entire show will not be streamed on the Internet. In order to have the complete viewing experience watch Current on your cable or satellite provider or, if they don't carry Current, go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Countdo... to request Keith today."

This means switching my provider just to get Keith. I've sent requests to have Current TV carried, but to no avail. IMO he's probably lost a lot of viewers. I used to watch him all of the time. I would like to be able to watch the entire show.

1. That's one of the good things about Direct
They put Current into the lineup just before his show started.

The Vanguard documentaries are also pretty good.

7. Is this something new? Because there are places that run the whole show online.
Have they stopped this from happening?

8. I used to watch it online, but the links I had don't work anymore. I also
used to watch it on Internet TV via roku.com with the Jason TV channel, but KO went away on that do. When I approached Current TV they said you have to have the right cable provider. I think there used to be some pirated of sorts online feeds but they dried up too. I'm checking our KO group. If you have one plz let me know. Thanks.

18. Yeah it is! It used to start and stop all over the place and get stalled on
commercials on the site I was using way back. This works really well. Thanks again!

9. Those of us with no tv don't get to see him.
But..most of the "important" things he shows do end up online, one way or the other.

10. I agree, I think he has lost a lot of his audience. So has Coco.
They bottled them both up and then pushed them into a corner that requires hoops to be jumped through by peeps that don't have satellite.

What Al needs to do, is to give Current away to cable, in order for cable to afford to carry it with their other stations.
It's not like we need 14 food channels on cable anyway.

I think somehow Al needs to get his channel on to cable, even if it costs them some dough.

21. I used to watch him sporadically when he was on MSNBC, I watch every night on Current-TV
The program has really improved greatly in my opinion.

22. I think the same ... I watched

23. KO is great
In a rational state, Democracy Now would be news and Fox marginalized to a curious oddity on community access TV.

but we're a bit upside down. Hope you get your KO back OP!

25. I gave up on Mediacom
and recently switched to Directv. I requested them to add Current frequently with no results and told them I would change if they didn't come through. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. To Keith I am faithful, 100 per cent! Besides I was having a lot of other issues with Mediacom, bot television and internet. I am loving Directv and Centurylink!

27. Well, I am keeping my Comcast.
I dumped Dish Network because I had reception problems in bad weather. And Comcast was cheaper and I get Current.
