Earlier today, in my Q/A with Vince Doria, I wrote:

“And if you follow Keith Olbermann, also a considerable number, you can sense his frustration about his show, Olbermann, not starting on a consistent time on ESPN2. There even are many nights it airs on ESPNNews because of the network’s live coverage of games.”

Well, it turns out Keith Olbermann isn’t frustrated with the situation. He clarified my perception (and others) in an email:

“Hey, Ed, that’s not frustration – as the saying goes it’s not my day to run the network. It’s just that when viewers are on Twitter getting frustrated by it, I feel like I have to have a little fun with it that both acknowledges we’re aware of their concerns, and that tries to take a little of the edge off.”

In a follow-up email, Olbermann added, “Honestly I just enjoy doing (the show). I can’t control what happens after I say it.”

Duly noted.
