Current TV Launches

Wired writes today that Current TV launches today. The TV network is founded in part by Al Gore, and the network relies on user submitted content for its programming. They've named the shows "pods", and each lasts for 2 to 7 minutes, according to Wired.

The homepage of the Current TV site has a short list of what's playing currently, as well as what's coming up. In addition, there is a soon to launch section on the site that will allow users to view uploaded videos and determine what gets played on TV. Users can also visit the Current TV blog.

If the programming is good enough to keep people interested, this will be huge. It's an interesting next step in citizen media.
