I never knew that CurrentTV was owned by Al Gore
I never knew that CurrentTV, that channel I sometimes stumble upon on my sky system in the UK (and often I actually stay for a while) was started, and has as its CEO, none other than Al Gore. Its on channel 193 on Sky UK and Ireland.
I just found out here on Techcrunch.
I love CurrentTV, it totally embraces the short-form web-like content that we’re all getting used to and gives people teh chance to get their productions from the Web to the TV. And it works. The quality, variery and pace of content is excellent, even the viewer created content (they use the term VC2 [V C squared) instead of UGC) links are fantastic.
(Looks like I’m not alone either, their website stats have been going through the roof, see their comscore graph on that Techcrunch article above.)
