Olbermann's new Current TV Show launches June 20

[FightingIrish]

Keith Olbermann finally announced what his new Current TV show will be called, and when it will air.

The new name? "Countdown With Keith Olbermann."

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Olbermann joked in a video announcement posted to his "Fok News Channel" site on Tuesday morning.

Previously, Olbermann would only say that the show would air in "late spring." In the video, he at last gave a specific date: Monday, June 20, at 8 PM Eastern.

Surprised that he even didn't use "The New" before its name.

This is great news for the 8 people that receive and actively watch Current TV.

Had Olbermann been an NBC late night host, this would be a different story. From Dave's "Top Ten List" to that bear from Conan, NBC has a tendency to lock up "intellectual property." Surprised they didn't do so in this case.

I'm sure once NBC catches wind they will have a huge problem with that. ;D

Well the question then becomes is Olbermann hoping NBC makes a big stink over this, so his so gets alot of free press?
