Thank you. At present, Al Jazeera is the only news outlet with news . And yes, where Qatar and Gulf allies are concerned, it may avoid stepping on toes, but not being spoonfed corporate American censored news about America and other serious players on the world stage is a million times more valuable

Just noticed that Al Jazeera is no longer available on Verizon Fios !! This was one of the reasons I originally signed up for Fios. I wanted to have access to real news. I see that Al Jazeera America is now offered with a more premium price tag and I am sure the addition of Al Jazeera America was the impetus for eliminating Al Jazeera English off the basic Fios chanel list. This really sucks!

Al Jazeera America should be on Channel 114.

Al Jazeera has pulled Al Jazeera English off in those market that had it, as they didn't want their own channels competing agains each other.

Al Jazeera America can also be seen on FIOS channel 1750 as well as channel114. I live in Union County, I believe the Verizon headend is in Freehold, NJ. 

If you want, try a direct channel scan with the input cable connected directly to a new digital QAM TV and see what crazy channel numbers you pick up a lot of the FIOS channels on.
