Current TV

Wired News: Gore's Webby TV Network Debuts Sounds a bit like ZeD. One of the advantages of ZeD is that it's online community is rather active and artists do seem to submit their stuff. The whole TV vs. 'Net issue is still unraveling. With broadband, digital video recording, good compression schemes for video (H.264 looks pretty cool) and, maybe, new business models, online video content is becoming quite enticing. At the same time, television content has shifted away from some of the older formats such as daytime soaps and "sitcoms," putting more emphasis on contests and "reality shows." In such a context, personalised video content, vlogging (video blogging), and art videos may eventually make their way to mainstream television.
