Today is Al Jazeera’s first day on cable tv and we are being charged for it! How does this reflect American values??

DirecTV Hey John, Al Jazeera America actually is not a new channel, but actually was rebranded from Current TV, a channel DIRECTV already carried. Since Al Jazeera assumed Current TV’s contracts with providers like DIRECTV, there were no new negotiations or contracts signed to carry the channel. By carrying Al Jazeera America under an existing contract, we are maintaining our typical channel offering. Thank you. -Charles
