Viewers star on Gore's TV channel
Former US Vice President Al Gore has promised to "democratise" television in the UK at the launch of a channel featuring programmes made by viewers.

Current TV will broadcast non-fiction videos by "people making TV for the first time, and making it well", said Mr Gore, one of the channel's founders.

Available through Sky and Virgin Media, it claims to be the first channel created by and for 18- to 34-year-olds.

In the US, Current TV gets about a third of its programming from viewers.

The channel launched in the US last year and is now available to about 40 million homes.-snip-

1. I'm sorry, but Current TV sucks.

I've tried to watch at times and the programming is non-existent. It's nothing but a bunch of amateur videos with little or nothing to say.
