Sources close to Current TV say that the departure of Current TV CEO Mark Rosenthal comes two months after the network's co-founder, Joel Hyatt, took the position of co-CEO alongside Rosenthal in a move that was never publicly announced.

While Current states Rosenthal’s departure was a mutually agreed upon decision, sources close to the network say it was Rosenthal who decided to leave, in response to the previously unforeseen challenge of having to govern the network alongside someone else, although those same sources claim the parting itself was amicable.
