The thinking goes this way: it’s been tough for Al Jazeera to find a home on American cable television. So why not try a new approach? Kid’s programming. Because if cable operators object to offering viewers exposure to Al Jazeera’s news, they’ll probably jump at the chance to provide those viewers Al Jaz for Kids!
Or so goes the thinking, as reported by Fast Company’s Neal Ungerleider, who says “the new English-language Al Jazeera Children’s Channel is scheduled to launch by the end of 2012” and will feature syndicated shows and original programming from the network’s existing Arabic-language Al Jazeera Children’s Channel.If you want see get a feel for what American children may see once Al Jazeera is settled in and comfortable, check out some of the kids’ programming MEMRI recorded from Arabic stations.
