Will I be able watch Al Jazeera America on Aug 20th and beyond?

We dropped the Current TV channel, and will not carry Al Jazeera America, on U-verse due to contract disputes. We could not reach an agreement with the owner that we believe provided value for our customers and our business.

Yes. When Current TV transforms into Al Jazeera America at 3 PM Eastern time on August 20 you will be able to watch it on the same channel (189).

Source? AT&T hasn't said one way or the other whether or not they are broadcasting.  New owners, new contract.

I tried several St. Louis area zip codes, each one said "No channels found for your zip!" From this I would assume that Al Jazeera America will not be available nationwide on U-Verse.

Owning a computer and not having the internet is like buying a refrigerator and not stocking it with food.

That is odd since I put my zip in and it came up 189. 

I'm neither "yea or nay" on the channel.  I just think it's a good idea to have a choice.

I just tried zip codes in the Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas areas, and received the same message of "No channels found for your zip!".

I went to the Al Jazeera web site ( http://www.aljazeera.com/demandaljazeera/ ), and if the information is current, the channel is available only in New York, NY; Washington DC; Burlington, VT; Toledo, OH; and Bristol, RI.

Evidentally, a few zip codes in Texas, such as where SkeeterinTexas lives, will also have the channel on U-Verse.

Weirdness....I went back and entered my zip again and it's says "No channels found in your zip!"

Second thoughts?

I just put in the Kirkwood zip, and a zip in South City and both said it is available on Uverse.

I just tried Texasguy's link again, and now it shows that I can get Al Jazeera America. The web site must have been modified since this morning when I first tried it. I did the procedure just now exactly as I did it this morning.

Your link is to Al Jazeera English which is an existing channel and not the same as the new Al Jazeera America channel which launches on August 20th.

Yeah, their zipcode thingy seemed broken, now it shows UVERSE on channel 189
