Yo!

As many of you have probably noticed, Current is cropping up all over the place. We have a YouTube channel, a facebook and a MySpace page, and of course we're on Twitter. There are many number of places where you can find us, reach out, and comment. In terms of sending us feedback, any of these channels will work, or you could always email us at feedback [at] current.com.

"But why not one more?"

Glad you asked. Today we're announcing the Current Hotline -- a social media spin on a timeless classic form of feedback. That's right, we're taking a good ol' fashioned phoneline (gasp!) and turning it into yet another way to help us make content for TV.

"How do you make TV out of feedback?"

Simple, call us up and tell us what you think of Current in a voicemail. Some of these voicemails will be spliced and diced into a brand spanking new feedback promo aired on Current TV. That's right: your voice + your thoughts = on TV.

Pretty cool, right? Wait, don't say anything yet. Call us up on the hotline and let us know what you think. Who knows, one of us might even pick up the phone.

Here are the details:

+ Call 415.904.2699

+ Press 1 if you want to give us permission to air your message on Current TV.

+ Press 2 if you'd rather not have your message aired on Current TV.

+ Tell us what you think of Current -- What do we do well? What frustrates you? What should we improve?

Make sense? Well, what are you waiting for? Get on the horn, because operators are standing by!

Best,
Mario

    • Dear Current TV, It is beyond AWESOME to have Keith Obermann back on the air! The first two nights have been outstanding...insightful, engaging, provocative, and stimulating! A by-product of Keith's reappearance on your network, is that I have for the first time discovered your network and the high quality and variety of its programming. My wish for you is that you bury the Fox News Network and the management (only!) of MSNBC.

      Tom Sferes,

    • Hey Mario, Thanks for posting this. I have tried to contact current.com regarding problems or issues on the website with no success.
      Am I missing something in the faq, or does current simply not field such subjects (i.e., problems with the website, suggestions for the website, issues with the website,)?
      If they do, what is the best way to go about this?
      Thanks.
