Keith Olbermann restarts the clock on 'Countdown'
He has a tall order: persuading his audience of 1 million viewers to follow him to a cable Siberia that averages 50,000 in prime time, and whose initial concept — airing news content uploaded by viewers — was quickly usurped by YouTube.
"Obviously, we will lose a significant numerical part of the audience to start," he says in a three-hour interview over oysters and tuna, hobbling on a cane after a workout-related foot injury. Current reaches just 60 million homes, two-thirds the total of MSNBC, and even fans who receive the channel might not easily find him.
"I went through this already at MSNBC," he says, describing his old home as a "chaotic" also-ran with no identity when he rejoined it in March 2003 (he had left in 1997). By fall 2003, "we had 200,000 viewers — not a lot — and it grew, and the network grew around it. I was kind of on my own, Chris (Matthews) and me," until former guest hosts Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, who inherited his time slot, got their own shows.
STORY: Olbermann dissects personalities in the news"To some degree, and I don't claim credit for anybody's individual success, but I got the ball rolling for everybody that's on that network," he says. "So the idea of going off on my own into isolation? Been there already."
That doesn't make his new gig any easier. Ask Oprah Winfrey, the hugely popular talk-show host whose new cable network is struggling. Current's news presence for now is limited to Vanguard , an award-winning documentary series that returns for a fifth season tonight, and will follow Countdown on Mondays.
Hyatt says as chief news officer, Olbermann, 52, will provide "input and advice" in a wholesale makeover of Current as a home for political analysis and commentary rivaling the cable-news channels' prime-time lineups. "He has a huge loyal following, and that following will come to Current," helping the channel gain a toehold in the opinion wars. "You don't have impact and influence unless you have a large audience."
Olbermann promises team coverage around Republican primaries and debates — "there are gonna be people involved in this who will cause viewers' jaws to drop" — and a 9 ET/PT companion show within six months. His own version of Maddow? "If things go the way I hope they're going to go long-term, I hope it's the real Rachel," he says. (Maddow declined to comment.

Nurse Base: NEUTROPENIC PRECAUTIONS
Unlike other types of precaution procedures, neutropenic precautions (also known as protective precautions and reverse isolation) guard the patient who is at increased risk for infection against contact with potential pathogens. These precautions are used primarily for patients with extensive noninfected burns, those who have leukopenia or a depressed immune system, and those receiving immunosuppressive treatments. (See Neutropenic precautions require a single room equipped with positive air pressure, if possible, to force suspended particles down and out of the room. The degree of precautions may range from using a single room, thorough hand-hygiene technique, and limitation of traffic into the room to more extensive precautions requiring the use of gowns, gloves, and masks by facility staff and visitors. The extent of neutropenic precautions may vary from facility to facility, depending on the reason for and the degree of the patient's immunosuppression. To care for patients who have temporarily increased susceptibility, such as those who have undergone bone marrow transplantation, neutropenic precautions may also require a patient isolator unit and the use of sterile linens, gowns, gloves, and head and shoe coverings. In such cases, all other items taken into the room should be sterilized or disinfected. The patient's diet also may be modified to eliminate raw fruits and vegetables and to allow only cooked foods and possibly only sterile beverages.
