Olbermann Out at Fox Sports

  • May 17, 2001
Keith Olbermann is leaving Fox Sports, his third TV network in four years, in a move Fox describes as "by mutual agreement." Olbermann will be paid until the end of the year under the three-year contract he signed to join Fox in January 1999. That was two months after the network bought out the nearly two years remaining on his contract with MSNBC, which he had joined from ESPN in June 1997. He was the anchor and executive producer of "The Keith Olbermann Evening News" on Fox Sports Net on Sunday nights since August and was host of Fox's Saturday pregame baseball studio show.
