Lord Voltemort: Current Drains Keith Olbermann's Battery

Troubled high voltage TV talent Keith Olbermann loses juice.

Deadline's Nikki Finke: EXCLUSIVE: This week there was a rift. Then tonight [Friday] what looked like an outright win for Keith Olbermann over his current employer Current TV. But now the rift is back on after the channel is ”doing a complete 180,” sources tell me. Here’s what happened: Earlier tonight [Friday] Olbermann was assured by Current TV that it was giving him ”carte blanche” to plan and program and book participants for the entire 4-hour block of New Hampshire GOP presidential primary coverage this coming Tuesday night. And that wasn’t all. “It can be said that Current has seen the light. It can be assumed that Keith will have control over election coverage going forward,” one of my sources assured me. But later tonight [Friday] Current TV changed its mind and now is refusing to give Olbermann the time slot.
