The Al Gore Effect…
Because ICN isn’t really about non-network cable TV we haven’t paid too much attention to Al Gore’s new channel Current. But here are some reviews for your perusal…
Linda Stasi in the New York Post…
Current is (or will be) largely viewer-produced television. And with some exceptions, it’s good — very, very good.
Chip Crews in the Washington Post (via Romenesko)
“Today is, like, a real exciting day for us,” a young man named Max Lugavere announced on the air yesterday morning, looking mighty pleased with himself. “It’s the first hour of the first day of Current TV.”
Lugavere was speaking of the new interactive cable TV channel and Web site, which was indeed launched yesterday by Board Chairman Al Gore & Co. And if the day’s excitement was lost on you, like, don’t sweat it. You may be demographically challenged — the channel is forthrightly aimed at the 18-to-34 set — or perhaps your household is one of the great majority in the Washington area in which Current TV is not a current attraction. (At the moment its local reach is limited to DirecTV customers.)
Johnny Dollar has video…
The video seems interesting. I have Brighthouse (TW subsidiary) its not on my cable yet.
