As we predicted last week, it appears Keith Olbermann is leaving the ESPN family again.
Olbermann and the network apparently couldn’t agree on a new contract when the company asked Olbermann to refrain from offering commentary on his ESPN2 show. That was enough to kill the possibility of deal.
The Hollywood Reporter story on the situation also reveals an effort to move the Olbermann show from New York to Bristol might have saved the company $40 million. The same story says the plan to move the Mike and Mike radio program to New York has also been scuttled in an effort to cut costs.
