Al Jazeera America will shut down in April, sources at the company confirmed to CNNMoney.
The news was announced at a sudden staff-wide meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
An Al Jazeera spokeswoman did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Al Jazeera America has been lauded for quality reporting and commentary, but its ratings have remained anemic since launch.
In prime time the channel only averages between 20,000 and 40,000 viewers on a typical day.

“Al Jazeera America has been lauded for quality reporting and commentary...” By whom, Al Gore?
Can they get their money back from Al Gore?
Darn — now how will Ryan Zimmerman and Ryan Howard get their money form AJ?
Good news!
So I guess enough time has passed to launder the bribe to Al Gore.
Fine with me. Now maybe the channel that is wasted for this traitorous network can be used for One America or The Blaze. (I’d like to have both.)
Plus, I'll bet that channels like this and others that pander to specific interests (BET) are one of the main reasons that a la carte programming will never come.
Always liked Powers Boothe. Enjoyed most everything I’ve seen him in. 1st saw him in Extreme Prejudice (1987) and he caught my eye.

Oh no! What will all the Hussein Heads in the rainbow mosque watch now?
Silly question.... Bet they’ll be watching AJ on satellite on our dime!
Besides, they OWN America now. Why have Al Jazeera “America” anymore?
Not to worry. Conspiracy theorists can just switch their viewing to RT (Russia Today).
I expect Obama to offer them a bailout.
Journalists are a race, right?
Maybe Oprah can buy it and call it , The Obama Channel
Hope they take Gore to court for fraud
Peyton Manning is very powerful.
Well Bye is right. The Dims still have PBSNBCCBSABCTELEMUNDO.
But at least it is a start.
WOW, first good corporate decision they’ve made.
