Back? Before or after the Comcast purchase. I would have to renegotiate the deal after losing a top ratings host. Suspended indefinitely without pay sounds a lot like canned.

Word! Thats exactly what is going on here. If anyone decides to bring him back, it will be Comcast.

There was probably a provision in the purchase agreement that GE would not terminate any on-air "talent". (And I use that last word cautiously.)

I'm willing to bet this whole thing with Keith is a set-up in order to bolster ratings and provide him with a forum to discuss Freedom of Speech.

I usually shy away from political discussions because most folks don't know what they're talking about. But I really like you folk's practical way of looking at this circus.

Thanks !

I suppose this will affect his spot on Football Night in America????

After watching pre-game shows/football for 7+ hours on Sun., the only reason I watch that show is for Olbermann and Patrick's old school, SportsCenter-esque commentary.
