Good Morning America Afternoon

TV Daytime ABC 

  ABC announced that daytime show "The Revolution" will be ending after it launched back in January as a replacement to "One Life to Live" the show was suffering with low ratings. To replace it a 3rd hour of "Good Morning America" will be taking the slot over the summer.  In the fall this will make room for Katie Couric's new show to take the slot .  The 3rd Hour of GMA will be produced by the same staff as the rest of GMA.
 Soap fans have something  happy about : "General Hosptial" will be renewed as well.
   Katie Couric's show will be airing on many ABC -owned -stations , as the show is syndicated.
So the General Hospital will be around for  a 50th birthday, and this is one of first years since 2005 where a soap has not been canceled.

Current Fires Olbermann

CURRENT TV  Olbermann

 By Skyler
 NewYork Times' Brian Stelter tweeted :

Olbermann will be replaced by "Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer," according to Current TV.
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) March 30, 2012

And Now Current Has confirmed it   in this letter

    We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet. We are more committed to those goals today than ever before.
Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it.
We are moving ahead by honoring Current’s values. Current has a fundamental obligation to deliver news programming with a progressive perspective that our viewers can count on being available daily — especially now, during the presidential election campaign. Current exists because our audience desires the kind of perspective, insight and commentary that is not easily found elsewhere in this time of big media consolidation.
As we move toward this summer’s political conventions and the general election in the fall, Current is making significant new additions to our broadcasts. We have just debuted six hours of new programming each weekday with Bill Press (“Full Court Press” at 6 am ET/3 am PT) and Stephanie Miller (“Talking Liberally” at 9 am ET/6 pm PT).
We’re very excited to announce that beginning tonight, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will host “Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer,” at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. Eliot is a veteran public servant and an astute observer of the issues of the day. He has important opinions and insights and he relishes the kind of constructive discourse that our viewers will appreciate this election year. We are confident that our viewers will be able to count on Gov. Spitzer to deliver critical information on a daily basis.
All of these additions to Current’s lineup are aimed at achieving one simple goal — the goal that has always been central to Current’s mission: To tell stories no one else will tell, to speak truth to power, and to influence the conversation of democracy on behalf of those whose voices are too seldom heard. We, and everyone at Current, want to thank our viewers for their continued steadfast support.
Sincerely,
Al Gore & Joel Hyatt
Current’s Founders
