Just one year after signing a $4 million a year deal with NBC, the network and Olbermann have parted ways...
...on that deal, and signed a new one.
Olbermann's contract has been extended through the 2012 presidential election. For $7.5 million a year, he will continue to anchor MSNBC's "Countdown" program, as well as host NBC's "Football Night In America."
Good on ya, Keith!
