Weeknight Program On Current TV
On September 20, 2011, Current TV announced that TYT would launch a weeknight TV edition of the show at 7 pm EST on the network beginning sometime in the 4th quarter of 2011. The show joined Countdown with Keith Olbermann as the second news and opinion program on Current as the network continued to develop a new lineup of programming followed by The War Room with Jennifer Granholm in January. According to the show's website, the show is introduced as The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur to differentiate itself from the popular web series.
On January 2, 2013, it was announced that Current TV had been sold to Al Jazeera, a Qatar based broadcaster. As a result, TYT may be discontinued as Al Jazeera reorganizes the channel into its new Al Jazeera America network. However, Cenk Uygur confirmed on the online show that TYT will continue on Current TV until at least March 2013.

“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
