Offering a glimpse of the independent network first announced at last year's National Cable & Telecommunications Association convention, former Vice President Al Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt, joined by executives and on-air talent, revealed this morning that the name of the new venture, formerly known as INdTV, will be Current. The unveiling of the much-anticipated network's positioning, logo and prototype programming reel took place at a press conference in Current's San Francisco headquarters during NCTA '05.

"Much-anticipated" by whom (or is it who)? Fidel Castro?

"If this is the Joel Hyatt that is a lawyer from Cleveland - he's the poster boy for tort reform. "

Yep, thats the one. The one from the commercials of years ago... "I'm a commie sympathizer,....I'm Joel Hyatt, and you've got my word on it"

Wouldn't it be something if Joel Hyatt married Paris Hilton?

I wonder what Matt Frewer is doing nowadays. I thought he was a better actor than his material. Doctor, Doctor -- his CBS sitcom that followed Newhart on Monday nights -- lasted two seasons. The first was hilarious. The second, not so much.

He'll probably pop up on The Surreal Life or something like that sooner or later.
