ESPN just released a statement on Keith Olbermann:

“Keith is a tremendous talent who has consistently done timely, entertaining and thought-provoking work since returning to ESPN. While the show’s content was distinctive and extremely high quality, we ultimately made a business decision to move in another direction. We wish Keith nothing but the best and trust that his skill and ability will lead him to another promising endeavor.”

The website says his show will end “sometime this month.”

Too bad. Olbermann is a unique talent and did a good show.

More to come.
