(which aired from 6am to 9am). This morning block moved to Free Speech TV after Current TV folded and became Al Jazeera America. On March 30, 2012, Current announced that Keith Olbermann had been fired and would no longer host a show on their network. A statement released by network founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt explained how the network's "values are no longer reflected" in Current's relationship with Olbermann, and that former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer would begin hosting Viewpoint effective immediately in the time slot previously occupied by Olbermann. On April 18, 2012, Current announced that California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom would host a show titled The Gavin Newsom Show, while concurrently serving as lieutenant governor. In June 2012, it was formally announced that Joy Behar would be getting another talk show, Joy Behar: Say Anything!, premiering September 4, 2012 on the Current TV network. Its content was expected to be in line with her previous HLN series The Joy Behar Show. Before the new show's launch, Behar began acting as fill-in host for Eliot Spitzer's Current TV talk show, Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer, starting on July 18, 2012. 2013: Acquisition by Al Jazeera On January 2, 2013, Al Jazeera Media Network announced that it had purchased Current Media, LLC and would be closing down the Current TV channel while launching and integrating the remains of Current into a new American news channel titled Al Jazeera America using its distribution network.

The terms of the deal were undisclosed. According to Forbes and The New York Times, the purchase was about US$500 million. The purchase by Al Jazeera occurred after an attempt by TheBlaze to purchase the media company was rejected in 2012. Immediately after the announcement, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, which both broadcast Current TV to nine million American homes, announced they would be dropping the channel, but said they would consider airing Al Jazeera America.
