Bring Current News and Vicky BACK TO CURRENT TV!

Image...
We want the Hourly Current News Program with our lovely Robot Voice, Vicky, BACK on TV.

This is clear in every single post regarding the Current Community. It always gets brought up - Why no more hourly news? Why don't we see the users on TV as much anymore? It was awesome, Vicky was awesome, and we want them back - is Current Media for the people or will you dismiss the voice of your demographic?

I'm trying to get 1,000 signatures. I have no guarantee that Current will listen and deviate from whatever plans they may have, but you never know if you don't try!

    I'm with you. Particularly if the robot is giving news Current members have decided was news.

    Why are you guys surprised?, every platform that gets it's boost from it's users quickly dumps them and goes for the money... in the form of sponsored programming and focusing on more lucrative subjects and topics of discussion. We are no longer needed!

    Great post!

    I'll be looking forward to see how this goes!

    I signed the petition even though I doubt it will have much impact

    Mafioso has a point since every decision that has been made gives evidence that supports that conclusion.

    No matter what Mario has claimed they are doing for plans to include more user feedback, what they have actually done is exactly what Mafioso pointed out.

    I am not surprised since the pressures to gather ratings and sponsors to pay the bills is pretty high, but I am disappointed that they say one thing and do another.

    Hi all. I can't speak about Current News, but what I can tell you is that as one of the producers for Current Tonight, we are trying our best to feature as many of your submissions as possible, whether it's in the form of a post, comment or webcam. We are trying to feature a mix of hard news with more pop culture subjects in a daily half hour, and while there is not a measured 'game' as there was with Current News, we would like every story to be from a Current.com user and we certainly take popularity and activity into account.

    We hope you'll check us out if you're interested in contributing – I know we use many of your submissions already and we appreciate your continued support!

    The recent posts have continuously been mainly protesting about this, I must know what happened to it, and for what purpose was it all about...

    From my understanding, a similar setup to current news is in the works.

    Free the Weed & Bring Back Vicky!

    What I miss is getting that email saying "Your a homepage hero!" or even better "Your story on Current Tonight"

    Those were the good old days...

    And I bet you'll get a 1000 signatures on this. But just try getting people to sign one about an important issue like climate change or the abrogation of our civil liberties. Amazing.
