Been watching the channel now for a month or more - not sure when it went on the air, I just flipped around one day and it was there. It is a very very interesting channel. Now they have started to get sponsers and have real commercials and even hosts/VJ's. The Iraq blogger is great. Right after Hurricane Katrina - like one wekk afetr maybe - they had a piece on from someone who went down with their boat to help out. There was an undercover piece done out in LA that was interesting. They also have been showing a very trimmed down version of a documentary on hell house - how they are doing this I am not sure, I am guessing the film makers either cut down a little "promo" for them or they allowed someone else to do it. When I first tuned in it had just gone on the air and checked out the website to see how to submit stuff. They do not pay that much at all that is my only thing - I mean it is a brillant idea to let your peers vote on this stuff to see if it gets on air or not however unless it is somehting you already are doing or already have access to I can't see how it would be worth it money wise for some of the sutff I have seen. And some of the stuff they are showing it puts the people doing it in a bit of life and death situations...when I frst looked they only were offering something like 50 bucks for the first piece. However they have now revamped a lot of things - 500 bucks for the first and second pieces aired. $750 for the third and $1000 after your 4th piece. After that I am not sure.

Also - i see they have uploaded a bunch of release forms - they didn't have these before. Submissions
