I just noticed that I now have Al Jazeera America on Time Warner cable.

I get it on channel 210. Not sure if this is new to anyone but me, sometimes I am a bit late on things, but I do not recall seeing any posts about it lately. Wish it was on the lower tier with the rest of the cable news channels so more people could see it.

1. I had to search for mine

It actually in the middle of the news block (Verizon Fios) but it is abbreviated AJAM so I didn't know what it was. There is no HD channel for it. All other channels that I know of have and HD alternative.

I like Al Jazeera - it is as advertised an actual news station.

2. I thoroughly enjoy that station

particularly all the in-depth international news.

3. They do investigative journalism

Plus they have David Shuster on there now. I love it!

4. Al Jazeera America has sued ATT-Uverse back in August 2013.

I'm pretty sure that Time Warner saw it coming down the pike and decided to play nice.

Al Jazeera has been working all year to launch an English language cable news network in the United States, but not all went to plan when the channel went live this past Tuesday.

AT&T cut the channel from its U-verse lineup just hours before Al Jazeera America (AJA) aired, making the network inaccessible to the service provider's 5 million customers — and leaving AJA with just over 40 million homes on board.

Al Jazeera's now taking AT&T to court over the matter, according to documents unsealed this past week, which claim that the service provider "cast around for an excuse to unilaterally terminate the Affiliation Agreement."

The company added in a statement to The New York Times that "We had no choice but to take this action and to enforce Al Jazeera's rights under its agreement with AT&T." The company also claims that AT&T "acted in bad faith" and "simply pocket millions of dollars to which it was not entitled" by cutting the cord on AJA, reports Bloomberg.

ATT-Uverse, on the other hand, is doing a Christie, denying Al Jazeera America's allegations:

" . . . that U-verse has many customers in "conservative states" and subtly suggests that AT&T removed AJA from its channel lineup due to concerns about carrying a channel infamously known to American audiences for broadcasting videos from Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda."

I guess Time Warner, after having dropped Al Jazeera America soon after the announcement that they have purchased CurrentTV, has a costly lawsuit and have finally come to an agreement to carry it.

From the same article:

AJA comes as the result of a $500 million purchase of Al Gore's Current TV network this past January. The company notes that it purchased the network for the explicit purpose of using its existing agreements with cable operators, which included Comcast, DirecTV, Dish, and Verizon FiOS in addition to AT&T U-verse. Time Warner Cable dropped Current TV — citing low viewership — soon after Al Jazeera announced its purchase of the network, but it's said that the two are in talks to sign a new agreement.

6. Wow, Thank You for the information.

Real news and honesty are hard for Corporations to deal with.

[postulater]

5. Me too.

Haven't had a chance to watch it much but what I have seen I like.

Saw an interview with Sir Charles Barkley. He talked about gays in the locker room - "Get over it!" and the attitude of the 1% - "I'm one of them and I know that they think they work harder than the single mom that served them breakfast. If I ever forget how hard poor people work, then it's time to shoot me."

7. We have Al Jazeera also

as well as RT. Al Jazeera seems like CNN with a beautiful logo to me.

8. I have Bright House

It's channel 128, I believe.

9. Comcast is carrying it as well. Yay. nt
