Current TV

Has anyone out there watched this network? It was launched by Al Gore and his partners back in August 2005. If you have seen it, would you please contact me? I am doing research on this topic.

Current's description of their venture:

Current TV, which launched August 1, 2005, is the first national network created by, for and with an 18-34 year-old audience. The network shows young adults what’s going on in their world, in their voice. Current is also the first TV network in history whose programming is supplied and selected, in part, by the very audience who watches it. It has developed the television industry’s leading model of “viewer created content” (VC2), which comprises roughly one-third of the network’s schedule, and allows the audience to submit short-form, nonfiction video “pods,” “viewer created ads” (V-CAMs), and mobile video. Its award-winning programming ranges from the hottest trends in technology, fashion, music and videogames, to pressing issues such as the environment, relationships, parenting, finance, politics and spirituality. Current is available in 38 million U.S. homes via Comcast (channel 107 nationwide), Time Warner Cable, DISH Network (channel 196 nationwide), and DirecTV (channel 366 nationwide).

Thanks!

Current is my favorite network! I discovered it about six months ago at a friend's house and have been hooked ever since I got cable in January.
