Al Jazeera (English) launches on freeview ch89

Channel 89 was previously a subscription channel channel which required a separate receiver so it will be interesting to see if it's now free-to-air when programmes begin at 6.00pm this evening? My EPG just lists it as "News".

Shouldn't think there'll be many Sunday Mercury readers watching

I didn't know this - and yes it's on and it's free!!

Thanks for the heads up
