Debate Here, Post-Debate There

In a shrewd bit of counter-programming (and marketing) MSNBC is airing a special edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann after tomorrow night’s Democratic debate which airs on CNN. The special edition of Countdown airs at 10pmET. It’s not known if MSNBC will push back the start time for Olbermann’s show, if the debate runs late on CNN.

“After you watch it there, come and understand it here,” said Keith Olbermann, in a press release.

MSNBC will also air a special 10pmET edition of Hardball with
Chris Matthews tonight, immediately following the Republican candidates debate.
