Al Jazeera English signs JV agreement with Dish TV

21 November 2011: The English service of Doha-based Al Jazeera has signed an agreement with India's direct-to-home player, Dish TV, for its distribution in the Sub-continent. Al Jazeera English is also in talks to reach similar deals with other direct-to-home players like Tata Sky, Airtel Digital TV and Videocon and cable operators in the country. The channel will be international in its outlook but will also cover local news with an international impact. The broadcaster may also bring other specialized channels on sports and documentary to the country, but at present it would focus on establishing a reputation for its news content.
