Al Jazeera makeover

The Aaardvark has in interesting post on recent changes in the programming and style of Al Jazeera. I had noticed the long overdue stylistic makeover (Al Jazeera for a long time looked a bit like an Eastern European channel from the 1980s), especially with the competition from Al Arabiya (which still has the best graphics and jingles of any news channel I watch in any language.) But he also has more on the content -- as I don't watch much TV this is rather enlightening.

Now, if only the Aardvark could point to the schedule of these shows so that I could catch some of them...
