I agree with Greg. I’m still hearing that the channel will most likely move to an all-tape format with Olbermann and Matthews moving over to CNBC. Moving to tape will save NBC some cash that it desperately needs, and with the Fox News business channel in the works, CNBC is attempting to up its muscle by adding some of MSNBC’s bigger names, although I’m not too sure how well Olbermann will work on a business oriented channel.

Could be what many radio stations do before a format flip . . . . like play Christmas music before going to talk.

It’s not a bad idea. Given that politics is a sport, they could be the ESPN. With the ‘08 election coming up, it would give them a two-year running start.
