I'd think that, if it is a political issue, they won't. AJA will probably bomb out here even faster than Current did.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-63779844026074584562013-01-06T12:33:40.401-05:002013-01-06T12:33:40.401-05:00I'm definitely not one of current's audien...I'm definitely not one of current's audience, but my small dish makes it available anyway. <br /><br />Al Gore was also offered money for the channel by Glen Beck - who owns Blaze TV (also available on dish) but apparently he felt he was more aligned politically with Al-Jazeera. Fancy that. It's also been reported Gore wanted to rush the deal, as the 2013 tax hikes were looming and he wanted to keep the money he would have made from the network's sale. Fancy that! He's acting like a one percenter!<br /><br />Be very afraid as this is allowing radical Islam an even bigger foothold in the US.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-41506917913237103212013-01-03T15:52:02.036-05:002013-01-03T15:52:02.036-05:00As I understand it, TWC's contract with Curren...As I understand it, TWC's contract with Current had expired, and with the purchase by Al Jazeera, TWC wasn't about to renew, I think.<br /><br />I think that Russian channel is still there, but Ovation?

I'm sure someone will deem that one an enemy-propaganda channel at some point. Time Warner also did away with the old Ovation culture channel, so the disappearance of Current may have been planned before the al Jazeera purchase was reported yesterday.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.com
