Gore and Murdoch join forces in TV deal

Link: FT.com / Companies / Media & internet - Gore and Murdoch join forces in TV deal.

Al Gore, the former US vice-president, is bringing his user-generated content television channel to the UK, courtesy of James Murdoch’s British Sky Broadcasting.

Mr Gore launched Current TV, the US channel made of clips created by viewers and producers, in August last year, and said that the channel was “democratising television.”

Maybe this is something the ABC could try here, perhaps using some of its digital multi-channeling capacity?
