In 2006, we can help create a TV news channel for 2007.

Independent World Television: We Can Make It Happen

In 2007, there may be Independent World Television, a commercial-free news channel with "uncompromising journalism," a channel financed with donations from ordinary people (which takes no money from corporations and no money from the government.) It would be available for free over the internet, and on satellite channel "Free Speech TV."

Or there may not be a new news channel in 2007. It's up to us.

If you don't have any money for this cause, you can still help out by signing up for emails from "Independent World Television." A bigger email list will help them negotiate with cable companies as a sign of interest. IWT News has been sending emails to people who signed-up about once-per-month.

If you can make a donation to create IWT News, all the better.

Advisers to IWT News include Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! and Janeane Garofalo of Air America Radio.

1. Funny, I had an idea for a news channel, myself. Called "RFN".

You know, Real Fucking News. No celebrities, no show trials, no disappearing spring break blondes, no Tom Cruise's opinions on psychiatry. Just journalists, doing THEIR JOB.

Anyway, this sounds great. Thanks for posting it. I'll check it out.

2. RFN. Reminds me of an old newspaper joke about a guy who

wanted to start his own daily in NYC and call it "The Truth" 'cause he
wanted to hear the newsies ask their customers "You want the Times or you
want the Truth?"

3. IWT may be what you're looking for.

But it won't come about by itself. They will need help from people like us to fundraise and spread the word.
