Current TV, the quasi-news cable channel being funded by Al Gore and friends, still hasn’t begun cablecasting, but it does have a website with a FAQ list. It’s not very clear about just what the programming will be, except that it will be short on breaking news and big on “short video segments–each just two to five minutes long–with recurring themes and styles.”

Haven’t these guys heard about the Long Attention Span Generation? The kids today don’t want little pre-digested chunks of info; they want engaging multithreaded storylines.

I’m not one of those kids, as you know. I happen to luv quick info-bytes. But what I like might not be what’s most marketable to my juniors.
