Current TV: if it's too short, you're too old
Current TV: if it's too short, you're too old
I spent some quality time over the weekend with Current TV, Al Gore’s new LA and SF-based cable network, the programming of which consists entirely of ‘pods’ no longer than seven minutes, introduced by trendily-dressed Gen-Y hosts. In other words, it’s like MTV, without the music, or the sex, or the glamour. Some random impressions:
– Current is really into sports– mostly of the extreme, X-Gamesy variety. I saw segments on: a handicapped surfer, an unusually attractive surfer/model (“I don’t really think of myself as hot”), a guy who jumps off cliffs, a motorcross racer, guys who collect skateboards, and another guy who collects Air Jordans.
