Gore TV Network to Launch in August, Google Tie-In

Did I call it or what?

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore on Monday unveiled his new television network, "Current," which aims to attract younger viewers with short videos and a tie-in with the popular Google Inc. search engine

The network plans to debut on Aug. 1 and be available to 19 million subscription television viewers, Gore said at a news conference at the cable industry's annual convention. Gore led an investment group that last May bought the network from Vivendi Universal for an undisclosed sum.

Right. Eason Jordan's comments at Davos were, um, bait; but I kept digging for what went ON at Davos and who was there. Did I not suggest.. a newer "network"? Um. Yes, I did. (blogger hang; see sea2sea, late february 2005 entries).

And somehow this new "merge" itself doesn't meeting CFR limits? Oh puleeze...!!

And of course there is McCain and Cablevision.
