Olbermann to Return to ESPN

Former Current TV and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann is returning to his sports news roots as an anchor on ESPN2.

Olbermann was an anchor for ESPN's "Sportscenter" from 1992-97. He will host a late-night (11 p.m. ET), Mon.-Fri. show on ESPN2 starting Aug. 26 called "Olbermann."

ESPN president John Skipper called Olbermann a "one-of-a-kind personality" who brings a "blend of editorial sophistication and unpredictability – you can never be sure what you'll get."

Olbermann, who clashed with bosses at Current and ESPN, said he wanted a chance to return to the network, adding, "I'm not going to waste it."

Olbermann will be a studio host for Major League Baseball's playoffs on TBS this fall.
