Time Warner Cable to Distribute Al
Jazeera America

Since its August 20 launch, Al Jazeera America
has been an unmitigated failure, unable to even attract even a small percentage
of the 3 million Muslims living in America. According to the New York Times, although the news
channel is now carried in 44 million American homes, total viewership sits at a
statistical zero: 25,000 total viewers. Therefore, it is doubtful that a new
deal with Time Warner to add another
10 million households will make any kind of difference.
The distribution deal is the first
Al Jazeera America
has made since its debut two months ago, replacing Current TV. Ehab Al Shihabi, Al Jazeera America’s interim chief
executive, estimated that once the deal was fully in effect, the channel would
be available in about 54 million of the 100 million American homes that
subscribe to satellite and cable television, up from about 44 million homes now….
