Al-Jazeera America and Time Warner Cable announced Thursday they have struck a deal that allows the new US cable news channel to reach some 15 million more homes.

The channel will be launched on digital basic in Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Dallas, over the next six months, a joint statement said.

“We said in January that we would consider Al-Jazeera America. Now that the channel is live, we think that it would be of value to our customers and are pleased to make it available,” said Melinda Witmer, executive vice president at Time Warner Cable.

Ehab Al Shihabi, Al-Jazeera America’s interim chief executive, welcomed the news.

“It has been a pleasure working with TWC over the past few months as their executives evaluated our programming and commitment to fact-based, in depth reporting,” he said in the statement.

news outlet might still be a couple of Arab newscasters dodging bullets in Baghdad.

The "fact-based, in-depth" concept might be a bit hard to sell to or retain with Americans, seeing as we don't get that on a regular basis. Should bump Fox's ratings, however, as the huffing and puffing will ratchet way up.
