What time slot? Isn't Larry King retiring? Or getting married for the 63rd time?

4. Even aside from that, he's not much of a fit for CNN. |
|
They actually try to play the straight-reporting game, however thinly veiled.

3. I highly suspect there was a no-compete clause in Olberman's contract. |
|
If he is suspended from making brodcasts... he is not necessarily fired.
Where KO can go to work immediately afterward is dependant on the conditions of his breakoff with MSNBC.

8. This will be a test for him ... If he quits, the non-compete goes away |
|
Hopefully he wouldn't do that until he has another gig lined up. Wolfie is getting pretty old so maybe there would be room at CNN for KO. (Does Ted Turner still have any pull over there?)

5. My thought exactly - give him the 8PM hour |
|
Might be awhile though till he can do since there might be a no compete in his contract.

6. He's a bad "fit" for them. |
|
I don't know where he could go:(
This is what's wrong with over-consolidation.

Greta will get the boot and Keith will be installed at 10pm over at Fox. Don't say you weren't warned! :evilgrin:
