He has, however, just resurfaced in this form:

"Al Gore never said he invented the Internet. But the new San
Francisco-based cable TV network he's heading promises to transform
television by plugging it into the Internet.

"Current, the name of Gore's enterprise, hopes to do that by airing a
shuffle of short news features, some produced by the network but many
submitted online by viewers. Current will also air segments every half
hour showing TV viewers what Google searchers are tapping into at that
moment -- everything from current events to tourist destinations. It's
all directed at a generation that thinks nothing of plugging into more
than one media outlet at once."

Coincidentally, a buddy just told me about this this morning; he seems
to quite like the channel.
