Current TV

02 Aug 2005

There’s a new TV network out there that’s got a radically different programming model, and looks immensely interesting. They’re foward-thinking type people. This is Cluetrain-model television programming. And I wish they’d gone and launched a video stream as well, because neither I (nor anyone else outside the US) can see any of it live – only what’s been specifically selected and uploaded to their online Current Studio section (not yet live).

(Oh, and if any US people are reading this — I’m looking at you, Matthom ;) — expecting a full report! :P)

I’d say some more nice things about them if their website were as foward thinking as they clearly are: they could easily have a validating website if they cared (look ma, no tables… also no doctype), and streaming is obviously not beyond their reach if they already have the facilities to provide some of their content selectively.
