News Net, Struggling for Carriage, Reups With Burlington Telecom
The municipally owned cable system in Burlington, Vt., has reached an agreement to continue to carry the controversial service Al Jazeera English, the city said last Wednesday.
In a press release, Burlington Telecom said it was not disclosing the terms of its newly forged carriage deal with Al Jazeera English, the international channel based in Doha, Qatar.
The cable system has been offering the network since January 2007 on its "second-level tiers of channels," not basic service, the statement said.
