The AJI Hall of Shame
http://www.aim.org/pdf/aji-hall-of-shame.pdf
In my area - if you dont have cable or SAT TV - the only national/international news network available is Al Jazzera- via the MHz networks on WNVT.
Its channel 30 - and they have 5 sub-channels. AlJazzera and RT are on 24/7 - the other channels jump around a little - but inlcude NHK, CCTV and other Chinese programming.
WNVT is broadcast out of Fairfax, I believe, but we have no problem receiving it all the way up here against the mountains in South Central PA.
Curious if Mhz broadcasts anywhere outside the DC market? Any OTA’ers care to chime in?
Believe it or not, Al Jazerra’s English-language service is usually less anti-American than are CNN and MSNBC, at least for the stories that don’t involve Israel.
If you’re traveling in Europe, moreover, you’ll find that most hotels offer English-language news only via CNN International, BBC World Service, and AJ. And you’ll also find AJ the least objectionable!

Only via the Internet, as far as I know.
But you can get a lot of the same channels — and a lot more — via FREE satellite transmissions. Most of these channels require only a small Ku dish, but a few others require a big C-band dish.
