Could it be they think a name like Current will attract more viewers than the Al Jazeera name...? I think at Dish they just don´t care.
Al Jazeera America’s Ratings Woes Get Worse
Al Jazeera America has been on the air for just about two months and despite being carried in roughly 44 million homes, Americans are apparently not interested in what the Qatar-owned network is offering.
At only about 13,000 viewers a day since its Aug. 20 launch, Al Jazeera America’s daily viewership is reportedly less than half what it was under Al Gore’s unsuccessful Current TV. The news network was only able to draw in about 5,000 viewers in the coveted 25-to-54-year-old demographic.
To put the awful ratings into perspective, consider that 13,000 daily viewers is about .00029 percent of the total number of households who have access to Al Jazeera America.
Many small cities you have probably never heard of have populations larger than 13,000, including Chickasha, Okla. (16,036) , Hutto, Texas (14,000), McPherson, Kan. (13,218), and Kalispell, Mont. (19,927).
The ratings are so incredibly bad, they aren’t even reported by Nielsen and are considered a “scratch,” the New York Post reports. Current TV was bringing in about 31,000 daily viewers one year ago.

They're in it for the long run. We're out of luck for the long run. By the way, what's with the crappy SD picture ? What were they thinking ?
I still think at least some of those well known anchors on AJAM will jump ship, I don´t think it´s good for their careers and resumes to say: "I was in AJAM the cable news network nobody watches". 
Or more to the point, to be out of a job with few prospects. They probably are getting a nice paycheck right now and are just holding out to the end of their contract to jump. I'm sure a lot of them have already been negotiating positions with other networks.
Al Jazeera America Already Loses an Anchor
Hey, I didn´t know this, this note is from a couple of months ago.
Just three weeks after Al Jazeera America’s much-publicized launch, anchor Morgan Fogarty is quitting and returning to her previous co-anchor position at WCCB-TV in Charlotte, N.C. It’s the latest blow to the new-found network, which is funded by the government of Qatar.
Fogarty recently moved to New York City to take the Al Jazeera position, but she has apparently decided that the new job isn’t for her

I think that would be very reasonable, maybe she thought gotta go back and leave this Al Ja-ZERO RATINGS channel.
Probably less.
Although with 97W and their webstream combined it was probably a bit more. Maybe 25k viewers. I have no doubt the bulk of viewers would be the Internet streaming.
If anyone here can't get Al Jazeera, we have a channel here in Canada called the CBC if you are looking for some anti American propaganda.
This comment is garbage. To keep my comment relevant to this forum, I can confirm CBC is indeed receiveable in Canada.
How do?,
I miss Al-Jazeera on Galaxy, but allegedly there was a satellite dispute.
QUESTION: All of Galaxy went B&W at 0000hrs, 25Nov13, with poor quality, and no off-air recording. So, RT, CNC, M2 and all the others are inaccessible. So what happened and how do I work around it?

mmm makes me wonder.
We lost AJE because of AJAM, which can now be proud of painful scratch ratings, people jumping ship and now staff layoffs
