wow wow woooooooooow, am i really reading this how many of you have watched al-j or even better how many of you know what they are saying if you did watch it, probably not many if any lol.
all you know is what fox tells you, do you really think there gonna say ya its good, of course not.
your image of al-j is totally and absalutly wrong, they are a news channel that also has debate programs and documentarys, like what discovery has, for example some of the shows playing today are:
knowledge around the world
Columbus and discovering ......... in Cuba.
balboa's museum
a show about submarines
a debate about religion channels
water for city's
history competes with theater
then theres the usual todays news, the weather, sports news, and so on
thats not all they play but that should give you a good idea of the channel.
like someone already pointed out earlier the reason why the terrorists send there tapes to al-j is because there are only 2 news channels in Arabic the second is al-arabia which is fairly new not to mention its owned by saudi so not alot of people trust there news.
fyi there are more al-j channels, there are 2 sport channels and a children channel and maybe some more that im forgetting, the English channel is a brand new channel and nobody can tell you how it will be, maybe it will suck and maybe its gonna be good but who is to tell one thing i know is that there shows are always top notch.
last thing i wanna ad is i want as much HD channels as i can get al-j HD is one more and its not taking anything away, i know i would rather watch it than poker in HD now thats pointless lol
