Current has released some hard numbers about how Keith Olbermann actually fared in the premiere of his new show on Monday night.

The verdict? The network is claiming a victory, of sorts, in the key 25-54 demo group.

Current says that Countdown with Keith Olbermann  took in 179,000 viewers from that demo at its 8 PM debut Monday night, compared to 89,000 viewers at CNN and 237,000 at MSNBC. Current has not, however, released figures for its total viewership that night.
