Keith Olbermann will return to hosting Countdown, his popular MSNBC show, on Tuesday night, according to an announcement from MSNBC. 

"After several days of deliberation and discussion, I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night’s program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy," said MSNBC Prseident Phil Griffin in a statement released Sunday night. "We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night," he concluded.

For more on the story, Greg Mitchell, media reporter for The Nation, has been keeping tabs since Olbermann’s suspension was first announced.
