NEW YORK (AP) - In a warren of offices at a former bank building near Madison Square Garden, dozens of journalists are at work on gleaming new electronic equipment, ready to turn their test runs of Al-Jazeera
America into the real thing.
The Qatar-based news organization will finally establish a firm foothold on American television Tuesday
after a decade of trying. At 3 p.m. EDT, Al Gore's former Current TV will turn out the lights in more than 45 million TV homes, replaced by the new U.S. affiliate of Al-Jazeera.
The network has hired many veterans of U.S. television, including John Seigenthaler, Joie Chen,
Antonio Mora and Sheila MacVicar, and is promising a meaty diet of news that it believes will contrast with the opinionated talk that dominates American news networks.
