Often controversial and provocative, Al-Jazeera, the Arabic satellite TV station has been thrown out of a few Middle East countries for its bold coverage. Many a times, it has provoked the ire of leaders in the United States for its reports and interviews, but it is gaining a huge following among people in the Arab world. Al-Jazeera has grown by leaps and bounds in less than a decade.
It now boasts a sports channel. It has just launched its new live channel and plans to have its English channel out by the end of the year. It may even venture into radio, the print media and marketing its name for products to be a full-fledged TV station.
