Al Gore’s Current TV Rebuffs Advances by TheBlaze, Agrees to Sell Channel to Al Jazeera
TheBlaze’s Jason Howerton and Billy Hallowell contributed to this report.
–
AP
Seeking to expand its presence in American television, al-Jazeera, the Qatar-owned news network, has agreed to buy Al Gore’s low-rated Current TV, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but a person familiar with the matter said al-Jazeera paid a few hundred million dollars for Current TV. The network, which was co-founded by Mr. Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt in 2005, has recently been struggling with low ratings.
The multimillion dollar deal came after Current rebuffed TheBlaze when it approached the network about buying the channel last year. According to a source close to the negotiations, officials at TheBlaze were told that “the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view.”
An executive for TheBlaze confirmed these details on Thursday, noting that the decision not to sell to Beck’s network came only hours after executives reached out to a Current representative to discuss the matter. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Hyatt said that the decision to go with the Middle Easter outlet came, in part, because, “al-Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current.”
This admission on the part of Current clearly shows that the network aligns itself with al-Jazeera — at least when it comes to goals and aspirations — something critics will likely question. As the AP noted, Dave Marash, a former “Nightline” reporter who worked for the network for a time, left in 2008 after sensing an anti-American bias.
A source close to negotiations also told The New York Times that the deal was probably worth around $500 million, meaning a $100 million pay-day for Gore, who was reportedly eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31 in order to avoid higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1.
Unfortunately for Gore, the deal wasn’t signed until Wednesday, however.
WSJ has more details:
Al-Jazeera, which is owned by the government of Qatar, became famous in the U.S. about a decade ago when its Arabic-language outlet aired videos of Osama bin Laden in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Since then the English-language version of the channel, which is available online in the U.S. and on TV in a few cities, has gained plaudits for its international coverage.
The purchase of Current TV could give al-Jazeera national cable distribution in the U.S., something it has been seeking for years. But al-Jazeera doesn’t plan to replace Current TV with its English-language channel. Instead it will create a new channel, al-Jazeera America, and will “invest significantly” in new programming, Mr. Hyatt wrote in a note to Current TV staff announcing the deal. The channel will be based in New York and expand al-Jazeera’s U.S. staff to more than 300, the company said in an announcement.
Not all cable operators are on board with the change. Time Warner Cable Inc., the second-largest cable operator, said late Wednesday it was dropping Current TV. The network’s owners acknowledged the deal was the reason.
News of the pending deal was first reported by The New York Times. Executives from al-Jazeera and Current did not immediately comment to the New York Times.
Current CEO Joel Hyatt confirmed in October that they were considering selling the 7-year-old network, which has long suffered from poor viewership.
Current’s programming line-up includes Eliot Spitzer, Jennifer Granholm and Joy Behar. Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann was fired from the channel in March after less than a year.

I am a Christian graphic artist and illustrator (yes God still creates a slim margin of right brainers who believe in Jesus) so I innately think in visual terms. Have you ever noticed that in these past four years that many of our Heads of State, Progressive National Pundits, Congressmen, Hollywood types and all-around Leftist’s photos show the real evil within them creeping to the surface? It’s obvious if you look at older photos. Satan is real and once he has a firm grasp on you, it does erode your body as well as your soul. I just pray some of these folks like Gore aren’t too far gone to deal with their conscience, repent and get some of that “Dorian Grey” scary face “thangie” to reverse itself. Yeesh! That man (Gore) is frighteningly evil. And nope folks, Progressive thinking is NOT a mental illness. It is evil. Period. And so is AL JazzyMuslimEra!

Remember the 6 SZARS who had tax problems and Turbo Timmy who just blamed it on Turbo Tax. Charlie Rangel who owed almost $ 800,000 in taxes on foreign investments. And don’t forget those that are to rich to pay taxes like Warren Buffet who owes $ 1.1 billion. And then thers those that lead their race around and stab them in the back. Obama has called the IRS off The Rev. al Sharpton on the $ 1 million+ he owes.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 11:44am@Moonlight On The Bay: Your name for the new network is superb. “Al Gorezeera” actually had a familiar ring which nagged at my memory until it finally came to the surface. In the 1954 Japanese original, and the reworked 1956 American release of “Godzilla,” the monster’s name was pronounced by the Japanese actors as “Gorjira” which, to my ears sounded just like “Gorezeera.”

People around the world are not awake to the propaganda, nor would they fall for it unless a news agency like AL-Jazeera gives them the news which is already happening. I would highly suggest you do some research and find out who REALLY OWNS AL-JAZEERA you will be surprised. They love that Americans hate Muslims and it appears to be visa versa, in all reality it is not, I have lived in a Muslim country for 3 years they look up to us like no other as civilians NOT the GOVERNMENT. Divide and Conquer oldest trick in the book, don’t late hate turn you ignorant. Muslims are not the problem, international mafias are to blame for all war and hate on this planet.

Posted on January 2, 2013 at 7:09pmLate hate? Something about early to hate, gets the worm. Oh, it’s the global worms that are funding the late hate. Got it. Why be early to hate? Joe, What you said. I give credence to a self avowed world traveler after letting them lift my wallet, not before. Late hate my ass.

I have seen and heard the brotherhood spout hate in their own words, I watched planes fly into the world trade center courtesy of osama bin laden, I have seen what the taliban stands for and believes..
don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining… islam is not the religion of peace and love that some would like us to believe…. Draw a stick figure and call it muhammed and see how peaceful islam is…

Posted on January 2, 2013 at 5:58pmI can view Aljazeera right now, and do check-in on them now and again, just to see what slant they have. Let me say, that they have far less advertising than Fox, my favorite, which makes them nicer to watch from that standpoint. And they have much more world views of things than any American channel. Most American Channels are very Myopic and inward looking, and it’s nice to check somewhere else to get a rest from all the Adverts, which I have to pay for … So, I see Aljazeera in the American market as ‘no’ big deal … I’m a big boy, I think I can handle it… just saying

Posted on January 2, 2013 at 6:11pmUh huh… Wait until the liberal progressive teachers and professors tell the trudents to start watching it and to do “current” events reports based on the stories of the day…. Do you think it will make the youth of the nation MORE or LESS pro american??????????? Nothing good will come of this…. Al Gore should be given a one way ticket to the middle east and thrown out of OUR country Once and for all…..

Posted on January 2, 2013 at 5:55pm” Current is available in about 60 million of the 100 million homes in the United States with cable or satellite service”
With a la carte service, you can have Direct TV or Comcast soon & get rid of CurrentTV
So in 5 years they will not have access to 60 million household.
I have cable but I never punch in the CurrentTV. I have OprahTV, I don’t change the channel to that either.

Posted on January 2, 2013 at 5:47pm“If the deal is completed, Current will provide the pan-Arab news giant with something it has sought for years: a pathway into American living rooms. ”
Any further questions regarding where Al Gore’s allegiances lie?
Anything for money right Al? Just like your fabricated “climate change” charade.
Wonder if they’ll keep the current communist anchors?
Rep Keith Ellison will be elated. In fact he’ll probably get a job there.

Posted on January 2, 2013 at 5:59pmDumping DirectTV might be good in the short term. Enough people do it they may seriously consider a la carte.
Al La carte or total cancellation & the liberal media will be shut out.

I hope Al Gore takes a bath on his Finnish electric car company investment. He is a freaking crony capitalist. I hope Tipper took him for 1/2 & that he tries to release his 2nd chakra on another women & she sues him for the rest.
