Current TV site is losing viewers!

Haha, and you guys thought it would get better. nope.

Wow...so instead of providing us with a response, they decide to bury this thread.

Maybe we should start a campaign to vote everything that's on the front page DOWN for a week, and see what happens...

Again, we appreciate your feedback.

Al Gore gave Keith an equity stake in Current TV and named him Chief News Officer along with the development of the rest of the network's news programming. I hope come June/July, Keith will step in and shake up this MTV channel. I can already see a conflict between Keith and the MTV clowns at Current. I hope Gore realize that the reason we are here is just for Keith and start shaking things before he's on the air, starting with this site. That why it confuses me that all our news got shove back to inner pages.

Well maybe you wouldn't lose so many viewers if you'd play full episodes of your T.V shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone would like to but doesn't get your channel and refuses to pay a high bill for all the other crap on t.v; i swear mainstream t.v is just grounded out about like cheap cheap Vienna sausages. Help us help you.

I'm waiting for my man Kieth.

IMO whoever said removing the news section from the main page hit on a good portion of the problem. This ain`t huffpo! It`s target audience ain`t looking for celebrity dirt.

Yeah, I must say the programming is horrendus. I think they had the exact same programming 3 days in a row last week. Half the time the channel isn't even on the air. GreenTV has much better programming. Current needs to focus on shows about nature and such, not reality shows about BS.

Taking too long for KO show to start hurry up

The profit motive ruins everything

Let's see...
they took out all user content from the front page,
they have added tons of MTV media and
don't care what we think....
it makes sense why people keep leaving... They want younger audience and want to promote their comedy, their programming and reality series... sounds just like MTV to me...

I'm waiting for jersey shore to show up here, that's when i leave for good...

BTW, add some minorities please... I shouldn't be asking and shouldn't be wondering why everyone on your shows, besides two Asians, are white. Last time i checked, this country is very diverse... not just one color!

Just wait till it goes fox news for teenagers

Success means being different. I'm not surprised... If you stop being a leader, you'll start being last in line behind everyone else. That means that if Current is going to be just like half the other "news" sites out there, we might as well go somewhere bigger and better.

Well, I mean it certainly didn't help that they moved the News section completely off the front page.

Current TV needs to go back to the roots of the year of 06 & 07, instead of it being "current" its starting to be like every other TV channel. And what ever happened to Sexy Lady Robot Voice who gave us the feed a few years back.

I've switched my current.com bookmark to go to
http://current.com/items/popular/
That way, I completely avoid the bullshit stories that current.com has decided to force upon it's waning "community."

In general, though, it appears that there is only a handful of about 10 to 15 people here that constantly respond to one another and post stories.

I have had a Blast with my short time here at Current... I think it is better left as it is....

I've mostly abandoned Current. The home page is terrible, the news-feed is filling with shit, and great programs like Vanguard and Supernews have been gone. I've turned to NPR and Al-Jazeera for my news, and will stay there until Current gets it's shit together.

mtv is doing its anal probe thing on current... mtv is like a leach that eats you from the inside out...

i sometimes get the feeling that mtv was the media corp that was selected to shut us up... you think about it the media corps probably site at a large round table, talking about how they can control what we see, and vote on who does what

Its the whole format change that has doomed Current. Ever since they took the regular joe out of the format...it went downhill from there.

maybe you change you comment vote system too some people don't like negative when they express they feeling so why come here to have negative votes because majority of people here not like you

The new homepage is a turn off for me...

What we need is a letter from the Current TV executives defining the new mission/focus of Current TV..

Is it the democratization of TV or not, has the mission statement changed.

I would love for Joel Hyatt or Al Gore to explain WTF is going on and where are they taking Current TV.

ya...that bar karma stuff and other newer shows hmmmm.....not another travel channel-ish station

Hmmm... It seems our beltway of fans are in the South Asia region spreading through Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. If I live in South Asia I am more likely to visit Current.com than if I live in America.

Good - question. I'm actually using it more than used to.

I think it all began to decline when they made the dark god Erlich shave.

( some things just SHOULD NOT be clean cut. And for the GODS' sake,....let him DRINK again,....this clean and sober shit aint workin )

Turn BACK to the "Dark Side" Bret ,....TURN BACK !!!

I am an old user as well. I stumbled upon Current TV by mere luck and I stayed because of the quality of the news you couldnt see anywhere else.

Little by little, we started seeing and knowing Conor and Brett and all those guys, which made our stay at Current amicable and nice.
But now is just ridiculous. By all means, message you are trying to send is:

We dont want a current community, we just want you to watch the shows.

And If thats the case, im leaving. Why? Because im tired of watching stupid shows. I mean they are funny and all, and they help to get you through the day, but the most important thing of this website is/was the user-content news, the user-supported news and the community around it.

ADDENDUM - (edit)

You are failing.
You are killing current.
You are trying to make a bad-copy of MTV and most of us already hate MTV (why would you want to copy something so bad?)

I dont care about the gay guy travelling the green-screen, bar karma or who made voice of Bin Laden (seems like your running out of stupid things to say?)

The only promising thing of this site right now is Keith which I think will be leaving soon if you people dont straight up your shit. This isnt Comedy Central, this isnt MTV, this is CURRENT, where user-content lives and thrives.

My understanding is that c u r r e n t STARTED OUT shooting for the late 20's early 30's demographic,....and they did a better job scoring it in the olden days.

( Its NOT really a CREDIT to the organization that it has become boomer over run,....and I'm speaking as one. More flexibility and snap in younger psyches,....more of an explorers mentality,...so features can have a broader and edgier spin to them )

- programing DOES NOT get "LESS lame" with an aging demographic,....but the ADVERTISING dollars are better invested,....up tp a certain age threshold

Most websites are losing viewers as people start to cut the internet, saving money and cutting cable as well! In these tough economic times, people are getting back to nature finding living spaces in trees and under bridges. Most cable shows are reenacted in community get togethers around burning barrels into the wee hours of the night. With ever decreasing wages and Americas race to the bottom line and the unemployment line, the rich forgot one thing! The people......

I don't want this to be a MTV site either, but who allowed this MTV guy to come in and change Al Gore's vision in the first place? If the site is steadily losing hits, the new guy is obviously doing something wrong. Keith Olbermann's viewers are not the MTV crowd. (I would know, I go to his web site daily) The people who post comments there are Boomers and older. This site is not going to take viewership away from Stewart and Colbert. That's who the MTV and Gen Xer crowd watch. BTW, Keith will be on David Letterman's show May 11th. I'm sure he's going to mention Current TV and the fact that he debuts here on June 20th.

Yep! I blame the MTV guy for all that has gone wrong here at current. It was such a nice place before He screwed things Up. Kind of like He did to MTV just run it into the ground. What a shame.

Bring back Al Gore's original vision and stop trying to make this site MTV. Not all young people are into that crap, and frankly you do a great disservice to them and all of us here who come here for the quality discussions we once had. I have been here since the very beginning and I can tell you this is not the place it once was. It has become nothing more than a partisan political shouting match with nothing being accomplished. I came here to report and see reports on news and human interest stories we don't see on MSM (GMOs for example) that empower people to positive action. Current needs to be a place that motivates and inspires young people and all of its members into activism and actually making the world a better place through the groundbreaking intermingling of tv/Internet/citizen journalism. Not being another partisan site like Daily Kos or even Red State where all they do is bash, trash and spread propaganda as if they are a campaign arm for their parties. Keith Olberman if truly independent may make a difference (and I do hope so) but in all honesty without your members and their creativity which was Al Gore's groundbreaking vision as well, I don't think it will last long. So message to Current: People come here to get away from the very thing you are becoming. Take note of that. And if getting rid of old members was their plan of action, they failed with me. I'm not going anywhere. This is my site as was said to us by Mr. Gore when this first started, and no MTV exec is going to change that for me.

Right now, all we can do is support each other here. Our opinions and outlooks might not always agree, but we savor the freedom and forum we have here at Current.

Challenge..post more, comment more, invite more

Answer they should have full episodes of there shows on current.com

Everyone loves a good conspiracy now & then, but almost no one but partisan right wingers love Alex Jones. Your audience is Liberal not right leaning libertarians. People come here looking for environmental news not deniers.

Every site has it's low points. I wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions at this point.

I think this is only a transititioal phase. They are trying things just to see if they work or don't work. Current is going to stick with what is going to bring viewers. If viewership explodes when Keith returns then current will stick to his ideas.

I think they have achieved exactly what they wanted. They [MTV dickholes] want the old users/commentors out of here.
Remember the spammers that just wouldnt stop?? I think that was their first round attempt. The second and more successful attempt was to change the format. It worked I'm outta here; it's now just strictly propaganda here.

it is a shame that the bump gained from the olberman jump was squandered.

speaking of wich wtf.where is my olberman fix?
