Joel and Al are between 18-34 years old?!? It hasn't even started yet and they're already lying to us!

"Current will invite audiences to move beyond their roles as viewers to become active collaborators, encouraging them to help shape the network's content and fulfill its mission -- to serve as a TV platform where the voices of young adults can be heard."
Great! Get ready to FREEP an entire network!

"entrepreneur Joel Hyatt"?
Isn't he a trial lawyer?
I guess the term "entrepreneur" has been expanded a little.

"The first national network created by, for and with an 18-34 year-old audience, Current will offer 24 hours of programming in a unique, short-form content format when it premieres August 1."
When MTV first aired, it was aimed at 18-34. Now it is aimed squarely at 12-18, with content only people ages 18-34 can legally perform.

"Until now, the notion of viewer participation has been limited to sending a tape to 'America's Funniest Home Videos,' calling an interview show, taking part in an instant poll, or voting someone off an island," added Gore. "We're creating a powerful new brand of television that doesn't treat audiences as merely viewers, but as collaborators."Al must not have heard of this thing, "American Idol," where 30 million people each week vote to keep their favorites from being eliminated from the show. It's kind of popular but, I understand, Al doesn't probably know much about television.

The term, "Going against the CURRENT" will come to have great meaning in the wooden idjit's life.

The first national network created by, for and with an 18-34 year-old audience, What dorks they are. The 18-34 market is not exactly homogenous. Many tv and political ventures have already tried to appeal to that audience. Will they wind up appealing to the students in the 18-24 group (who largely don't vote), or the 30ish crowd who have careers, are starting families and have interests more like the 40's and 50's?
I don't know any show or network that has succeeded with that age range. I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
(Yes, I do know that some things like football appeal to everyone in that range, but they appeal to older and younger people as well)

Currents pull things under, don't they? Sounds like a fitting name.
