‘Countdown’ gets new site on MSNBC.com

Posted by Don Day on May 28, 2008

Sometime today, MSNBC.com relaunched the site for Countdown with Keith Olbermann. The site looks quite a bit like the template used for NBC Nightly News – but the remarkable thing here is how well the MSNBC folks have translated a TV program to the web. The video player is huge, and the video tray is organized like the show (5-4-3-2-1), plus trays for features like Oddball. Also, it is interesting that MSNBC isn’t afraid to have a wide array of sites with distinct looks (NBCSports.com, TodayShow.com, MSNBC.com and nightlynews.msnbc.com, etc.) look nothing alike – but share a common framework.

Updated with link to site, nixed NBCOlympics.com from list of sites
