Will I be able watch Al Jazeera America on Aug 20th and beyond?
I know that current tv is no more, and al jazzera america to go live. The question is will I be able to enjoy it. I have been looking forward to this adtion of news channels. In my view ABC* CNN* FOX* *NBC* is not enough.
I am hoping this channel goes live. Maybe some day I will get my wish in see BBCnews as well. I want more news and less news entertainment.
Not that I want any of the other channels to go away. I just want more options. I like uverse dearly. I am still waiting the 1000's of channels everyone was dreaming about years ago.
I am still kind of irritated., and so is my family that although we enjoy our UVERSE TV. It is still does not live up to the ideal. Kids channels are great. The educational channels are still lacking. Dreaming of the day that we have something equivalant of BBC 4 here.

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.

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

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.

Current has gone dark on my feed with bad jazz and "Programming is no longer available"; guess we'll see at noon (Pacific) if the new channel is up. 🙂

Well Dmitri , that is too bad. I hope that AT&T had a contract dispute and not an ideological, one. Not going into a political debate, here but I have read/heard from multiple sources that Al Jazera is the least biased of any major news provider. It's always good to be able to get differing viewpoints. For years, I listened to shortwave (world band) radio as BBC, Deutsche Welle, Radio Canada International provided a different view on world news. I hope that AT&T reconsiders as it would have been nice to watch, at least once. Rethink Impossible? Lol.

I hope they can come to an agreement eventually, cause I am a little bit mad. I WANT more choices. BBC, AL JAZEERA. I would even cave and say the people can have there ENTERTAINMENT channel like the Blaze. Each channel adds more value, and more diverse opinions.
