Al Jazeera's going to position this as an AMERICAN news channel. 60% out of New York, 40% out of Qatar. nyti.ms/VvhxMe

Current will cease to exist. Gore will serve on the "advisory board" for "Al Jazeera America," according to internal memo.

Among the assets Al Jazeera is buying from Current: its carriage deals w/ DirecTV, Comcast, Dish, Verizon, AT&T. But NOT Time Warner Cable.

Time Warner Cable's pithy goodbye to Current: Our agreement "has been terminated... We are removing the service as quickly as possible."

I consider Gore joining forces with Al Jazeera a powerful merger of propagandists.

No they a not buying the network. The are paying off Al Gore. Of course Saudis are happy to use current TV to scare people away from fracking, drilling and mining.
