Current TV, Al Gore’s experimental outlet for audience-created content, can be viewed only by cable customers paying premium prices for digital programming, the San Francisco Weekly reports. "We stay in touch with what our customers want, and right now I would say [Current] is definitely a niche channel," said one cable company executive.
