It also gets money from the cable operators that carry it. That, rather than advertising, is how it makes most of its money.

Much easier to receive Al Jazeera America now, it's now carried on Badr 4 KU Band.

Due to Aljazeera being banned from reporting in Egypt and on the heels of Aljazeera staff members imprisoned for endangering national security and aiding a terrorist organization. So as a result, Aljazeera borrowed Ian Lee from CNN to report from Cairo http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-correspondent-reports-for-al-jazeera-because-aj-reporters-arent-allowed-to_b218982

Sara Sidner of CNN International was also filing for AJE from Cairo during the last few weeks.

Some screenshots of Al Jazeera Balkans in HD, will try to get AJE later if they switch to the English service.

Strange thing happened on AJAM last night. For one of the AJE simulcasts, my Comcast feed (which is normally 4:3 SD) switched to 16:9 letterboxed for the duration of the Newshour. The next hour, which was also an AJE simulcast, switched back to 4:3, and everything since then has been 4:3.

I really wish the full HD feed was available already. Are there any cable companies carrying it?

Just spotted on AJE, Barbra Serra, who is a regular London anchor, in the Doha newsroom presenting from there.

Do the London anchors do this often? I think if I remember correctly I saw Felicity Barr presenting from Doha earlier this year.

Cuts at Al Jazeera America, mainly to the sports dept.

That makes sense. Daily sports coverage on news channels is more of a European tradition that I don't think makes a lot of sense, especially in the U.S. market. I also don't mind seeing The Stream as a concept scaled back, though I hope Lisa Fletcher doesn't go anywhere. She's a great presenter.

It also looks like they've officially taken Libby Casey off the morning show with Del Walters and replaced her with Stephanie Sy. Good move in my book too.
