Al Jazeera English & Al Jazeera America

Is the live stream of Al Jazeera English a hour behind tonight?
At 8pm I thought the London bulletin was broadcast however, Riz Khan came on, and on the website it says Riz Khan is at 7pm

The clocks changed a few weeks back my friend.

Yeah, Im aware of that.
Its ten minutes to nine now, and AJE has Riz Khan on, which is wrong, it should be the London Bulletin. Riz Khan should have been on 7pm-8pm
Am I just being rather slow tonight?!

AJE pivots on Doha HQ time as its "anchoring" time zone. Therefore, in the UK, your programming should be running one hour earlier than it used to.

(Just like the BBC in London always follows London time as its anchor.)

Ah! So I'm not going mad Thanks.

I notice Dalal and Felicity are presenting from London tonight, is this the first all female headed bulletin?

Remember the AJE schedule has also been moved around a lot as they have moved up to 19 hour a day operations. Starting at 9:00 and ending at 3:30. This has caused other newhours be moved around for example.

Nope Dalal and Barbara have fronted together quite a number of times. I also noticed Nick Clarke was presenting from Doha. I thought he was a London-based anchor?

The thing was, it was 8pm in the UK, and Riz Khan was supposed to be on at 7pm, and he even said 19:00 GMT which made me think was the stream behind a hour, I even checked the tv, to make sure Waterloo Road was on and not Gorilla Week or whatever

I also seen Nick in Doha earlier today aswell, I think they must be moving a few of the presenters around, because Dalal was in Doha a few weeks ago now shes in London. But on the website Dalal isn't mentioned so I presumed she just presented any spare bulletins going

At 8pm our time it is now 19:00 GMT. We're on British Summer Time, which is an hour ahead of GMT.

Yes, seperately of the clock change (which only applied to Europe, North America having done it 2 weeks earlier) they've moved their schedule around a bit:

Riz Khan is now half an hour and on at 7pm (Frost remains an hour)
The Newshour that was at 7pm has moved back to 6pm
There is also a Newshour from London at 9pm and the gap without live news has gone down to 3 - 8am

Add an hour to the above for UK local time (BST)

Not quite, it works on GMT, in the same way as CNN and BBC World do.

This is especially relevant in the case of AJE which comes from 4 locations, 2 of those don't have daylight savings time. Therefore the change in transmission/production times doesn't effect the staff in KL or Doha

While reports of a blast in the Iraqi Parliament were coming in, BBC World just chose not to care abou them and continued with the business news for almost 20 mins. So I switched to AlJazeera and I was really impressed by the brilliant coverage they provided. Not only reports, like CNN and the BBC, but immediate in depth analysis of the event and the political situation in Iraq. Great way to deal with a story, and an extremely professional coverage.
