"The new youth-based cable TV channel Current, or better known by its shorthand, GoreTV, was announced Monday at an industry trade show. With a launch date of Aug. 1, Current will be available to 19 million subscribers. Rumors that Gore was plotting a counter to Fox News with a lefty news channel appear to be unfounded. 'We have no intention of being a Democratic channel, a liberal channel, or a TV version of Air America, that's not what we're all about,' Gore said Monday. (Interestingly though, one of Current's financial backers is Rob Glaser, CEO of RealNetworks Inc., who bailed out Air America last summer when money got tight.)"
I was hoping for more from this "liberal" channel. I guess we'll have to wait and see. He has the same backer who pulled out of Air America right at the start. I hope he doesn't try to cut and run again.
