Al-Jazeera buys Gore's Current TV
Al-Jazeera, the Pan-Arab news channel that struggled to win space on American cable television, has acquired Al Gore's Current TV, boosting its reach nearly nine-fold to about 40 million homes.
With a focus on US news, it plans to rebrand the left-leaning news network that co-founder Mr Gore could not make relevant.
