About Me

Current is a national cable and satellite channel dedicated to bringing YOUR voice to television.

Current is about what's going on: stories from the real world, told by you. We slice our schedule into short segments that we call "pods" — each just a few minutes long. You'll see profiles of interesting people on the rise, intelligence on trends as they spring up around us, and international news from new perspectives...And much of it comes straight from you.

We call it viewer-created content, or VC2. Right now, VC2 makes up about a third of our channel—and that share is growing.

How it works:
Anyone can upload a video. Then the Current online community votes for what should be on TV. You can join in at either stage — watch & vote or create & upload . We've also got training to help you get the skills you need to make TV!But we need you to do more than watch... jump in and participate!

My Interests

Your World

I'd like to meet:

storytellers, shooters, editors, A/V jocks, animators, musicians, producers, journalists, intergalactic time travelers who can tell us the future of the internet... Oh wait, that would ruin all the fun now, wouldn't it?

Music:

What's your FIX ?

Television:

Heroes:

"A true revolutionary must combine an empassioned spirit, with coolness of mind, and make painful decisions unfalteringly"
