DirecTV has had it for a couple of months, I have yet to turn it on. Not sure what channel it is. Easy to ignore, like the homo channel, BET, Oprah, MTV, CNN MSNBC etc... That all spout liberal garbage, and praise Obama 24/7.
DirecTV moved it to 347 so that it would be the FIRST channel to appear on your news sub-menu.
No bias there, eh?
Al Jazeera gets paid whether anyone watches or not. Each channel gets a fee per subscriber. If you have cable that carries Al Jazeera, you are paying Al Jazeera.
The only way to not pay them is to cut your cable.
