Al Jazeera English Gets Danish Carriage

DOHA: Al Jazeera English has been added to the roster of news channels available from Denmark’s YouSee.

The channel will initially be available to 1 million households free during March, before joining the YouSee Favorite channel package. The 24-hour news service broadcasts from centers in London, Washington D.C., Kuala Lumpur and Doha to 220 million households in 100 countries.

Al Anstey, the managing director of Al Jazeera English, said: “We’re delighted to be making this breakthrough in Denmark with YouSee. We believe that there is a gap in the market for serious global news and we look forward to further engaging with the Danish public.”
