When you drop that kind of money, you<br />are not going anyone. Al Jazeera could learn from<br />Current. When people go to the website, have the<br />channels for all of the cable/satellite providers.<br />You should not have to enter a zip code. Where<br />is the ad push ?

Russia Today America like AJAM, <br />CCTV and others are now available and not going away and more are coming. Larry King is on RT. Link TV alone makes it possible to see news from France,Germany and NHK from Japan. Most people discover these networks on the web so naturally their television audiences are small. Anyone thinking television is the only game in town is wrong. These are global networks. They don't need ratings they just need to be available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-90382330597205626442014-03-06T08:56:38.404-05:002014-03-06T08:56:38.404-05:00News should not be about ratings because real

I think people forget that<br />Al Jazeera has deep pockets so they are not <br />under pressure as much as CNN. That means<br />the ratings are not going to make Al Jazeera go<br />away. I have been watching Al Jazeera for the<br />crisis in the Ukraine. Fascinating on scene reports,<br />informative conversation, letting the news be the<br />star and not insulting viewers intelligence. It's<br />like Rachel Maddow said the other night : CNN <br />is not what it used to be so Al Jazeera is very<br />essential to find out what is going on in the <br />world and the Untied States. Al Jazeera is a <br />learning experience. Right now I don't think<br />viewers really know about Al Jazeera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-27849789791710330762014-03-05T22:27:37.874-05:002014-03-05T22:27:37.874-05:00Yes, Jon Stewart is right as rain, which makes you...Yes, Jon Stewart is right as rain, which makes you wonder why in the world Anderson Cooper would resign with them.<br />Has he no shame or is he afraid that another network might not cater to his whims??<br />Just asking.<br />Yes, he is doing a good job in the UKraine, but he is the only one IN the UKraine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-37736217595179415282014-03-05T13:34:53.030-05:002014-03-05T13:34:53.030-05:00AD AGE has a very interesting article on AJAM.

Their audience is small but upscale and highly educated. 15,000 viewers with 5,000 in the 25-54 demo. It does not mention the full breakdown like 18-29,18-34 or 18-49. Recently AJAM has been running more ads. Perhaps ad buyers are looking beyond CNN, FOX & MSNBC. They seem to like the quality product but want to see audience growth. AJAM has been around for 6 months, It's bogus to compare AJAM ratings to Current since Al Gore' channel did have more viewers at the time AJAM took it over but Current's 6 month numbers were not the same as year 8 ratings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-10962770072674354522014-03-05T08:57:22.993-05:002014-03-05T08:57:22.993-05:00CNN is fading fast.

Tied old political<br />antics,crime, celebrities and people saying dumb<br />things are not news. No one is building a 21st<br />century cable news network for TV, web & mobile.<br />Content has to be unique for all platforms. For <br />goodness sake CNN still has Crossfire and the<br />outdated totally useless crawl. Advertisers are<br />no likely the atmosphere of many cable news <br />shows. Too polarizing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
