Almost three months after shutting down its U.S. cable television network, Al Jazeera Media Network is preparing to launch its news channel video content on digital platforms in the U.S. again.
Al Jazeera English reaches more than 305 million households in over 160 countries. But U.S. viewers could not access its live stream coverage.
Al Jazeera English is in talks with cable carriers that carried the now defunct Al Jazeera America to make its live video stream available in the U.S. starting in September, according to the email from Giles Trendle, Acting Managing Director of Al Jazeera English and Director of PSrogrammes.
“I am pleased to be able to say that, all going well, AJE will [be] available in the USA, across digital platforms, in September,” the email stated.
“The exact date will be fixed once we get the green light from our Legal team, who have been concluding deals with the cable carriers of AJAM.”
The memo did not specify which cable carriers.
