Drawing on the legacy of the groundbreaking Al Jazeera Arabic channel, Al Jazeera English (AJE) was launched on November 15, 2006 to more than 80 million households worldwide.
The 24-hour news and current affairs channel is the first international English-language news channel to broadcast across the globe from the Middle East.
Al Jazeera English’s global footprint continues to grow and now broadcasts to more than 220 million households on six continents in more than 100 countries.
Al Jazeera English is broadcast from four strategic broadcast centres: Doha, Kuala Lumpur, London, and Washington, DC. Unlike other international channels, Al Jazeera English’s broadcast shifts as the world turns providing the most comprehensive and contextual news coverage.
Al Jazeera English’s mission is to provide independent, impartial news for an international audience and to offer a voice to a diversity of perspectives from under-reported regions.
