Al-Jazeera English hits the airwaves Arabic TV broadcaster's new network is launched, but won't be on Canadian cable GUY DIXON
Spanning the globe with high-definition broadcast centres in Washington, London, Kuala Lumpur and Doha, Qatar, al-Jazeera English is finally set to launch today, taking CNN and the BBC head-on. It's the new English-language offspring of the Arabic news network, which has itself been prominently in the news, with American groups such as the Accuracy in the Media calling it "terror television" while, according to al-Jazeera, it has been referred to by some Arab critics as part of an "American conspiracy" to tear "apart the Arab ranks."
Yet with today's intense media interest in al-Jazeera English and the unflagging fortunes of the emir of Qatar reportedly pumping tens of millions of dollars into the operation, it's all a world away for most Canadians, since major Canadian cable companies are not expected to pick up the network any time soon.
