Al-Jazeera Tries For Wider US Audience

Qatar based satellite news provider Al Jazeera is talking with US cable provider Comcast about US carriage of its English language channel. Americans can only get it via Direct TV, online or mobile. (If you're in Washington D.C., Toledo or Burlington, Vermont, it's on your digital lineup.) Its popularity has soared as people search for information on protests and civil unrest in the Middle East and Africa.
