Current TV, a great opportuinty to BE the media! Direct TV chan. 366

If you're not watching, you are totally missing out.

I just got to see and interview with Gavin Newson about how he is a "HUGE proponent" of medical Marijuana.

I saw a pod on some guy with chi power, the VJ was mighty freaked out.

They had a pod with a guy that went to the Gaza strip to interview people about what life is really like there.

I found out that the pharamcuetical industry spent more money lobbying congress than any other group last year.

I learned of at least 20 bands that they don't play on Clear Channel, including Wilco's up coming concerts.

I got to see Reagan get shot, the complete original news cast.

And if you guys go and greenlight the 2 pieces on Camp Casey, made by our very own DUers, I might get to see those on my TV.

Have I mentioned that I love this channel?

Cause I do and if ya'll don't start paying attention we will have wasted the best chance we've gotten so far to be the media.

www.current.tv just type Casey into the search function and watch the journalistic work of our DUers.

Also the Battle for America rocks! You should watch that one too.

1. I hope it catches on

I am not in the age group that they are trying to reach--not even close; but I have watched it off and on, and I have seen it getting better already. The pods are really starting to mature in content. I think Gore is on to something.
I hope there are a lot more like you out there--and yes, we need to make it viable--NOW

2. Gore is a genius! We bitch about not having any media and now this

We are fools if we don't take advantage of it.

Have you signed up to vote on Current?

Greenlighting a pod that you love makes you feel powerful, it is very cool.

5. Gore rocks! Any election fraud pods yet? n/t

6. Not yet, some DUer really needs to get on that BTW

8. There was a speech by Alice Brown about Election Fraud on the website

where people vote, but the video wasn't very well done.

I voted for it anyway, because it's an important topic.

7. I don't know, maybe I'm just so not their demographic

I've clicked on the channel a few times and been nearly bored to tears for about five minutes before I changed the channel. It might help if they at least had some description of their programming in the guide. If I knew where they were going with a program or what the hell it's purpose is, I might stick around a little longer.

At this point, all I can say is it's so not News World International. I was addicted to that channel and it was the only reason I wouldn't let my hubby switch us to the Dish Network. Now it's beginning to look like there's no reason to keep DirecTV.

9. At the front page of their website, you can see which videos

are coming up, and when:
www.current.tv

You can also find videos on their website to vote for (or not), and you can sort by Most Recent, Most Highly Rated, or Random (shuffle.)

If you're bored at their website, you can go onto the next video at any time.

You can also click to see titles of other videos while a boring video plays.

11. Current will be great, I also mourn the loss of NWI.

But I think that current will be great.

The posibilities are endless with interactive TV news.

They also ask if you think their is something not being covered enough, you can send them e-mails about it and they will get their VJ's to cover it.

Homelessness was one such topic as was medical marijuana.

Simply put if you want to see it get enough people to tell them to cover it.
