With the return of Countdown With Keith Olbermann a little more than a month away, we're learning a bit more about who will be on the issue. Today, Current TV announced the broadcast's first group of regular correspondents, including our very own Markos Moulitsas. From Current's announcement:

“Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” the much-anticipated week-nightly commentary show slated to launch on independently owned Current TV on June 20th, is announcing its first group of regular contributors, which will include notable policy-makers, documentary film makers, award-winning journalists, bloggers comedians and other progressive voices. Lending their views and voices to “Countdown” on a regular basis will be film maker Ken Burns, Nicole D. Lamoureux, Executive Director, National Association Of Free Clinics, comedian Richard Lewis, film maker Michael Moore and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas.

This news that Markos will be one of the regular contributors probably won't come as a shock. Markos was a regular on the old Countdown before MSNBC's top brass blacklisted him. Countdown With Keith Olbermann returns to the air on June 20th at 8PM ET and today we're learning a bit more about who will be in the show.

1. How do I watch Current TV?

Is it online or something?

Something tells me that Comcast probably won't carry it.

3. I do get Current TV through Comcast.

Don't know if it's part of a tier or not, but it's right there on the TV machine. I'm really looking forward to watching Keith and Co. again.

4. There is a link at the site to request it on your cable provider

It is not on in my area, so I used request form. Took me 30 seconds.

6. Bingo! Thanks!

I figured it would require using some technology that I couldn't figure out (like that BluRay thing I bought).

Thank you so much.
