(CNN) - Keith Olbermann will be hosting a primetime show on Current TV â€“ the network backed in part by Al Gore, the former MSNBC host announced Tuesday.

Olbermann abruptly departed MSNBC two weeks ago. He will begin his show "later in 2011," according to a statement from Current TV.

Full statement:

NEW YORK â€“ February 8, 2011 â€“ Keith Olbermann, the acclaimed broadcaster and writer whose verbal pyrotechnics and moral passion have outraged, informed, and dazzled viewers of "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" for the past eight years, is bringing his slashing wit, analytical eye, and distinctive commentary to Current Media, the EmmyÂ® and Peabody Award-winning TV and digital media company that was founded in 2005 by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt and is now distributed in more than 75 million households around the world.

I had heard 60 million on the radio this morning, which is about equally incredible. This must count everyone who could watch it on podcast if they were so inclined.
