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.

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or current:
“On our streets it is the sight of a totally unknown face or figure which arrests the attention, rather than, as in big cities, the strangeness of occasionally seeing someone you know.”
—For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
