31. I wonder how much effort CurrentTV put into promoting its network to cable providers.

I found it difficult to watch their network online. On two different occasions I got an unwanted, very annoying add-on from clicking on that link ("rtv"?).

It's disappointing to read through all the negative remarks. Now that we don't need him -- after all, we have Rachel, Ed, Larry, Al, Martin, & Chris on MSNBC; Spitzer, Stephanie, et al, on CurrentTV because of Keith -- we should jump on the network CEOs' bandwagon & ridicule Keith for his "ego" & for "not getting along with others"?

The fact is, until CurrentTV pounds the sidewalks in getting its network shown on all cable-tv, it's a rinky-dink operation that is unwatchable online. It is what it is, & I don't blame Keith for being disgusted that promises to him were broken.
