A Politico report discusses the channel's final evening, which will effectively end at 9 p.m. when its last live broadcast is over. At midnight, the channel will go offline.
The network's political correspondent Michael Shure told Politico the staff is "very proud" of the work they did at the New York City-based channel.
"It seems sort of celebratory," Shure told Politico. "Everyone is very proud of Al Jazeera, that against the odds of difficulties with management initially, everyone is very proud of the journalism and the product that is on the air. Everyone is smarter after you turn it off."
About 700 people will lose their jobs when the network goes dark, reports CNN. Al Jazeera America strived to report the news in a fact-based way without editorializing, and focused on international news for its broadcasts.
CNN cites Nielsen figures that say about 20,000 people would watch the network at a normal hour during the day.

ReplyDeleteLol ok Mrs Obama
DeleteYou obviously never watched and compared it to CBS, NBC and ABC, whose World news was a joke worldwide, just like our understanding of World events is the laughingstock of the planet.
DeleteAl Gore fails again.
ReplyDeleteSo low info out in the wide world of rednecks. Al Gore was affiliated with Current TV which was bought out by Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera along with BBC and other foreign news outlets often provide a different perspective from what the MSM in the US spoon feeds you. Y'all just is scared of anything that sounds funny because you can't get beyond the bay bridge unless someone gives you free tickets to a sporting event.
ReplyDeleteHere is a fact for you. The President of Al Jazeera America is...wait for it...Kate O'Brian. VPs Marcy McGinnis and David Doss sound like terrorists too.
One can learn a lot from listening to different view points rather than dismissing them as dumb.
Al Gore made 500 mil unless he got it in payments then D"OH!

9:35 probably doesn't believe in dentists either.
ReplyDeleteWhile some seem proud of this channel, if they're only getting 20K people, that's a seriously low rating considering even shows like the Kardashians gets a higher rating in the middle of a work day.
ReplyDeleteThank God! Get them all out of this country! We real Americans do not want anything or anyone Muslim in this Country.

And it's a spin off of the Obama Logo.
Who needs a freaking Logo anyway? All these morons are copying off Obama's "Change" the Country logo.

Yep, I learned a lot about you. I learned that you love Muslims, you want Syrian Refugees as long as they aren't in your house and I learned that you voted for Obama.
Please leave our country with them. We are better off without your kind.

Aw is that all you got! I bet you don't believe in personal hygiene and your wife doesn't shave her legs or her womanhood either. Bet she doesn't use any feminine hygiene products either. I was just talking about her the other day because I almost threw up from her B.O.. It also left a pungent odor on that cloth seat she was sitting on.

You can't fix stupid was never a more appropriate saying for the eastern shore than now after reading the comments of those that get up before dawn to go work and make foolish comments on a blog.

ReplyDeletePeople that rise early to work are the ones building your house and feeding your family.
You denigrate the Eastern Shore, insult people who WORK, and insult their opinion.
Probably best if you continue to hide behind the mark of the brave and proud "anonymous". "Anonymous" should be replaced with "coward".
They have a sale on pink dresses at Chico's today.
Better hurry up. Your boyfriend is already there.
Off your meds again 1:00pm?
