Al Jazeera America, the recently launched cable news channel funded by the government of Qatar, is entering millions of more households in the United States.
Time Warner Cable, the second-largest U.S. cable TV provider, said Thursday it has agreed to carry Al Jazeera America in its lineup in the coming months, a distribution deal that the upstart network has sought for months.
Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
AJAM, as the network is known, will be available to the Digital Basic tier customers of TWC in its two largest markets — New York and Los Angeles — by the end of the year. The cable company will introduce the network to other markets by the end of March.
