Current is a new, independent cable and satellite TV network (Channel 336 on DirectTV). Nice thing about this is that anyone can actually contribute stories which viewers can vote to be aired (participatory production platform), much like YouTube+Digg for TV.

A short segment of it features Google Current. Hosted by Conor Knighton and Kinga Philipps, stories on Google Current covers popular search terms for the week (see Google Zietgeist). (This week’s feature covers the 20th year annivesary of the Chernobyl disaster.)

Videos segments are streamed on their site and available eveyr 30 minutes. Pretty interesting and informational, IMO. Prolly more useful for SEOs and probloggers. ;)
