In reply to the discussion: Time Warner Cable Drops Current TV Upon Sale To Al Jazeera [View all]liberalmike27
(2,479 posts)Is a great idea I think--you should.
I just lowered my cable tier, sadly losing Steph and Cenk, but from what I hear they won't be around too much longer.
No, I don't think people will cancel their cable because Al Jazeera America comes on--if they wanted to, they can keep the same name. My guess is, it'll be far more accurate than the weekend millionaires' clubs that appear on our network channels now, where they sit up and talk, average incomes in tens' of millions.
By the way, I think had Current actually tried to go with the talk, more liberal format from the start, Al Gore might have made even more money, and may have not sold. The reporting isn't clear on this subject, most are left to believe the network was liberal talk for the whole 6-7 years of its existence, which is NOT true. It was mostly weird, and idiosyncratic.
