Update: For those looking for Countdown with Keith Olbermann numbers on CurrentTV, CurrentTV does not subscribe to the Nielsen service that would regularly measure its programs (presumably because it's only in around 60 million homes). Until CurrentTV subscribes to be measured, there's no chance we (or anybody else) will regularly see any numbers and unless they order a special report and then release those numbers, you won't likely see any one-off reporting either.
Update 2: Though we didn't receive the data directly, THR reports that Countdown's premiere on Current scored 179,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo.
