Current TV - if you don't have the money to do it right, when will you have the money to do it over? [View all]

Current TV with it's focus on politics, and in this HD world, had woeful 1950's-quality broadcasting productions and never had in place a plan of programing to attract and then keep viewers tuned in.

Certainly there are enough seasoned TV producers and other TV type consultants that could have helped Current start with just enough quality programming to keep viewers interested so that it had a chance to grow.

But on the other hand, maybe the sale of Current was what Al Gore and Joel Hyatt had planed all along. Who knows?

It would have been interesting for policy and politics to have seen Current thrive.
