Current TV as a model for Scotland
Should we be taking note of Al Gore’s (cable) Current TV?
Mainstream British media are out-of-date. The newspapers are dying. The London-based, centralized BBC is becoming ever more powerful, enjoying huge internet resources that no-one else can match.
Television will change dramatically within the next ten years. Some of the experiments taking place on Current TV will undoubtedly become important features of future broadcasting. Rather than trying to grab a slice of the BBC, (unlikely to be successful and problematic if it was), I’d argue that it would be better to develop something entirely new, contemporary and Scottish.
