Al Gore’s Current TV Sold to Al-Jazeera

The owner is probably better known than the television channel he just sold. Current TV has been sold to Al-Jazeera.

FOX News Radio’s Ron Flatter reports:

It’s a channel that was started by, among others, former Vice President Al Gore. It once featured Keith Olbermann and more recently the former Governor of New York.

Current TV hasn’t found a lot of space available in the cable TV universe. Now it’s been sold to Al-Jazeera, the news service bankrolled by the government of Qatar has been trying to grow its U.S. audience. Even Current TV’s limited reach into 50 million homes has the potential to improve that.
