At 7pm, Upstream takes over the airwaves. Presented by Current's JCX, Slick and Stew, Upstream will be streamed into your telly-boxes Monday through Thursday nights on Current TV (Sky 183.Virgin 155). It’ll be bringing you all the latest tech, games, film, music and weird science stories, comments and reviews that you’ve been adding to current.com.
At 8pm, Webmash - the show that rifles through the internet to bring you the weirdest news, the funniest videos and other unmissable web gems - beams onto your screens. Hosted by Graeme Smith and Anne Foy, Webmash airs for half an hour, Monday-Thursday, and features the best of your stories, pictures and comments.
** How to get involved **
See a story you like somewhere on the internet? If you reckon it fits into one of the above shows, add it to Current.com and tag it with 'Upstream' or 'Webmash' - it's a simple as that.
Comment away on stories you like and we'll take the funniest, most interesting responses and include them in the show, crediting you and showing your lovely user pic. You look great today, by the way.
As well as that you can follow us on Twitter and email any time, including during the show.

Good luck guys! Very exciting. I look forward to trying to clip something that gets on (although someone might have to fill me in if I do because we can't afford sky...). Enjoy it!

If you add something and we're able to use it on TV, you'll see a lovely pink 'picked for TV' tag added to it and we'll message you to let you know.
Good luck getting stuff on TV - look forward to seeing what you add!

Two hands, man! Couldn't you have written Webmash on the other one and saved the 'FTW' for the tip of your nose? ;-)
Thanks for the pic and adding all your ace stories, Jamieson!

In every Webmash show, we give an Outstanding Contribution Award to the member of the Current.com Community who's added a story, pic, video or comment that's so mind-blowingly amazing, it seems like a gross injustice to not herald their efforts in front of the entire nation.
As a sneak preview, today's recipient of the first ever Outstanding Contribution Award is Hendrix_Is_God. But why?
Is it because:
a) he once saved a coach load of orphans from a charging herd of elephants?
b) he can juggle fire with his tongue?
c) he's added a story to current.com that managed to make the entire Current team wince and cross their legs in sympathy?Tune in to Webmash - 8pm on Current TV - tonight to find out.

Webmash producer here! I'm very excited about tonight. We've all been busy behind the scenes preparing for the launch of the show! And we hope you think it's as much fun as we do!
So tune in tonight to see among other things; gun-toting boy scouts, an intergalactic battle over the skies of San Francisco and one Londoner's best efforts at Air Sex! [Think air guitar, without the guitar].
