According to Nielsen data for Monday as it kicked off its first full week, AJAM’s most popular primetime show was “America Tonight,” which attracted 27,000 viewers. In comparison, Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” drew 2.97 million, MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow” bagged 970,000, and CNN’s “Anderson Cooper” reeled in 627,000.

Last Thursday night’s “Real Money with Ali Velshi,” which only drew 54,000 viewers, was the new network’s highest rated show last week, TV Newser reported.

“Surprised but not too much by KPBS in San Diego playing an advertisement for al-Jaz.”

I was a bit surprised to see an ad for them on FNC (I think it was during Hannity, but might have been Greta) last night. It then occurred to me that stations probably do not screen ads so much (it was not really an obnoxious ad per se (I just won’t tune in to Al Jaz)),for them it’s more about the $s (that said, I’ve never been in the TV or advertising biz).

I see it has showed up as channel 215 on Dish.

I called Dish, and told them I would never watch it

Once they have your money every month they care little what you watch. Al jezeera still gets their piece of your bill.

Al Jazeera: Tune in or you may find an ID in your driveway.

I think eventually, they will be taken off, for lack of followers.

Even if you don’t watch it you are being made to pay for it. It is in a package. You pay for the package. Nothing more than another scheme to transfer money to the poor, downtrodden, ‘oppressed’ channels belonging to poor, downtrodden, ‘oppressed’ minority groups.

They don’t care because they know it won’t cost them anything. Just take a look at the MTV thing with the cyrus girl everyone was bitching about this week. Plenty of so called conservatives wailing and gnashing their teeth over how damaging it was to the culture. But not a one of them canceled their service. They willing put money in MTV’s pocket every month because when it comes to walking the walk, their fake reality shows about duck calls and pawn shops and college football are more important to them. Hell, I canceled mine over a lot less and didn’t do the Vivian Leigh level amount of dramatics and good old fashioned harrumphing I saw on some of those threads. And conservatives wonder why they have a hard time being taken seriously.

Indeed. All intifada, be they Muslim or black theology, they are all manipulated by psychologists pretending to speak for a pseudogroup as tonne of hem, offending the rest.

All are terror and war mongering organs, old mohamed’s Islam pagan vs. Jews style.

What was Current TV’s viewership. I would think probably the same people would watch Al Gorzera. Some probably don’t even know it changed hands.
