*** '''Current TV''' (now defunct), formerly known as [=INdTV=], was a news network targeted at younger, college-aged viewers and specialized in viewer-generated content. It has spinoffs in the UK and Ireland, Italy, and Canada. It was partially owned by AlGore and Joel Hyatt. It has a decidedly left-wing perspective, often going well beyond MSNBC's liberal slant. In 2009, two of their journalists were briefly detained by the North Korean government. They snagged [[CountdownWithKeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann]] as Chief News Officer following his departure from MSNBC -- then unsnagged him 13 months later after a series of contractual and other disputes.
