Current TV and Yahoo on the outs?

Current TV's distribution deal with Yahoo is in peril, a Current spokesman has confirmed.

"Current is exploring better opportunities to distribute our content," Current TV spokesman Alex Dolan said on Friday. He declined to elaborate. A Yahoo spokesperson said the company does not comment on rumor or speculation.

Current TV, co-founded by Al Gore, is a San Francisco-based national cable and satellite channel that features video created by viewers.

Yahoo and Current TV announced in September the launch of a co-branded site, Yahoo Current Network.
