MSNBC has named Dan Abrams their new general manager:

NEW YORK - NBC News legal correspondent Dan Abrams was put in charge of MSNBC on Monday -- and his first move was to take himself off the air there.
It was not immediately clear whether the legal-oriented "The Abrams Report" would continue with a different host or whether it would be replaced by another show.
When Olbermann announced the old GM (Rick Kaplan) was leaving, he said (and I paraphrase) "he was a great friend of the show".
...more on the flip side...
Recently, pointed political shows such as "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann and "Hardball" with Chris Matthews have made some headway.
Those shows work because they are focused and viewers know what they're getting every day, Abrams said.
"Over the next few months, you will hopefully see the network become a little more exciting, a little more vibrant and a little more irreverent," Abrams said.
Does anyone know if Abrams gets along with Olbermann?
What will this change do to Countdown, if anything?
