ESPN and Keith Olbermann are parting ways later this month, the sports network said Wednesday.

Olbermann rejoined "the worldwide leader in sports" in August 2013 with an eponymous talk show, "Olbermann," which airs on ESPN2.

Company officials reportedly chose not to re-sign Olbermann to a new contract rather than fire him. His contract expires this month.

ESPN released a cordial statement announcing Olbermann's imminent departure.

“Keith is a tremendous talent who has consistently done timely, entertaining and thought-provoking work since returning to ESPN. 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.”

I can understand ESPN's stance, they can print money regardless of whom is on air. So with thatin mind, why pay a premium for a brand name, when they can get someone off the street and still do numbers?
