Earlier this year, Current TV was sold to the Al Jazeera Media Network who is gutting Current TV and installing its own brand of news programming. On 20 August 2013, Al Jazeera America will launch as an entirely new network focused almost exclusively on U.S. domestic news.
Several prominent news personalities John Seigenthaler from NBC; David Shuster from MSNBC; and Joie Chen, Ali Velshi and Soledad O'Brien from CNN have joined the Al Jazeera America roster. Former ABC News executive Kate O'Brian has been named president of the network and will head the editorial operation.
Will RCN seamlessly transition Current TV to Al Jazeera America on 20 August? (As Current was only available in SD, is there any possibility on adding an HD version of Al Jazeera America?
