Hey, is CURRENT TV The cable network Al Gore started?
Because, if so, I have some good news for Comcast customers in N/W Atlanta Metro!

Check Channel 107 if you have Digital Cable!

It's On!:woohoo:

7. When did it start on Comcast Digital?
I usually just throw away their ads and don't surf much.

8. Late May 2006/ early June 2006 as a basic channel.

It was available in a "Digital Extra" package in the Twin Cities of Minnesota and some other places since it started.

5. Cool! Atlanta Metro also has Cox and Time-Warner I think...
...there might be a few other small companies too.

Any word on those or any other Cable companies? Dish? DirectTV?

9. Yes and it eliminated my only news source
The station used to have ITV, BBC, CBC, Deutch Welle, etc
Now it has yuppie kids talking about gadgets when I checked in -out of habbit.
I'm still bummed, but at least I'm uninformed about what the US is really doing.

And if I ever need the coolest possible palm berry pod-lette thing, I'm hooked up!

15. I mean a News channel. BBC America has britcoms most of the time
Doesn't it? I'm hoping for IWT. Amy Goodman, Gore Vidal and others are supporting it. It is planned to be based in Canada so maybe it can remain untainted.
