Since Lost and 24 have been booted off Virgin Media, we’ve been watching the Current TV channel.
Well, not really. It all looks a bit worthy and dull, but you sound quite trendy if you mention it, non?
Still, we must admit it’s a pretty innovative idea – a telly network created by, for, and with young adults. And they seem pretty happy with everything, celebrating the UK launch with a competition which runs until April 9.
Submit a compelling three- to five-minute non-fiction video ‘pod’ to the Current TV website and three grand prize winners will win lunch with Current’s chairman, former US Vice President and recent Oscar-winner, Al Gore. Holy cow!
Almost half of Current TV’s schedule is ‘viewer created content’ and they pay filmmakers for everything they put on air – which is a damn sight more than you get most other places.
You can find out more about the Current TV compo on their website – but you’d best brush up on yer table manners first. You don’t want Gore to see you eating like a pig.
