Al Jazeera
On 3 January 2013, Al Jazeera Media Network announced that it had purchased Current TV in the United States and would be launching an American news channel. 60% of the channel's programming would be produced in America while 40% would be from Al Jazeera English. That was later changed at the request of pay-television providers to almost 100% American programing. Regardless, Al Jazeera America maintained a close working relationship with Al Jazeera English. The channel aired "Newshour" in the morning and midday hours and cut to live Al Jazeera English coverage of large breaking international news stories outside of that. Al Jazeera English programmes "Witness", "Earthrise", "The Listening Post", "Talk To Al Jazeera," "Al Jazeera Correspondent" and "101 East" along with "Al Jazeera Investigates" regularly aired on Al Jazeera America.
