Keith Olbermann's show on ESPN to end this month

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) Keith Olbermann's show on ESPN will end sometime this month.

''Olbermann'' premiered in August 2013 when he returned to the network.

''Keith is a tremendous talent who has consistently done timely, entertaining and thought-provoking work since returning to ESPN,'' the network said in a statement Wednesday. ''While the show's content was distinctive and extremely high quality, we ultimately made a business decision to move in another direction. We wish Keith nothing but the best and trust that his skill and ability will lead him to another promising endeavor.''

The 56-year-old Olbermann was a ''SportsCenter'' anchor on ESPN from 1992-97. He went on to work for Fox Sports (1998-01) and switched to news with MSNBC (2003-11) and Current TV (2011-12) before returning to ESPN. He also was part of NBC's NFL coverage for the 2007-09 seasons.
