Yes, I know from where this channel hails. But if you live in the United States and do not receive, or don't watch, you miss a ton of international news. Fox News has pretty much zero international presence. CNN is better, but is not everywhere. I don't get BBC (except for the watered down BBC America), nor do I get Sky News.

AJAM, as it is abbreviated on the DirecTV channel guide, has reporters in many world hotspots and reports regularly. And I also get to see the full international version. I know this from my time in that AO. Same anchors on live at the times I saw them down range. More news sources are better than fewer. Check it out for yourself and make your own call.
