In a stunning late development, MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann has been ousted by the cable news channel. And he’s gone without much of an explanation.
MSNBC just released this terse statement.
MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC’s success and we wish him well in his future endeavors.

Wow. Countdown is done and Olbermann leaves NBC in one night. No reasons have yet surfaced as to precisely why.
What are your thoughts?
I suspect this will not only be a blow to overall ratings, but especially to Rachel Maddow.
I'm wondering if this might have something to do with the NBC/Comcast merger, too.
