My question is: is the reason regulatory or political why al-Jazeera is not broadcasting here in the US yet? I know next to nothing about television regulation here - it's just that there are a gazillion channels - one would think that al-Jazeera might have tried to get access here already. Does Britain permit it to broadcast there? I know Canada will be able to censor al-Jazeera fairly heavily if it wants to, not sure the same would happen here.

I don't know why we wouldn't let a-J broadcast, since we let Fox broadcast.
Unless, of course, it's because we let Fox broadcast...
Oh, and Gwinky, I understand Slave & Co. want you to take this one to the Canada board....
