Keith Olbermann is considering joining Current TV, the New York Times reported online late Monday, citing people familiar with his plans.
The newspaper said Olbermann and the channel, founded by former Vice President Al Gore and others, did not deny that the channel would partner with Olbermann in at least some of his future plans. But the paper said Olbermann could also pursue other ventures, such as an Internet destination.
The former "Countdown" has a conference call scheduled for Tuesday at 11 ET.

The announcement will come in a conference call with reporters at 11 ET. An announcement about the call included no indication of who Olbermann's new partners are.
Olbermann, who has used Twitter to communicate with Friends of Keith since his exit from MSNBC, was silent Monday on his plans.
Citing an individual familiar with the situation, TheWrap reported on Jan. 21, the night Olbermann signed off from "Countdown," that Olbermann's departure was by choice and that he had his eye on creating a media empire like Huffington Post.
