According to the web site, SCOLA has been carrying Al-Jazeera broadcasts Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 PM Eastern
time since April 1st. (I just checked; I'm glad I did). In fact, they are getting a number of additions to the
programming lineup: Afghanistan News from Kabul in Pashto and Dari, News from Nepal, UN Documentaries in several
languages, and Latvian News, all on Channel 1. They are also hoping to work out a few technical difficulties in
order to get broadcasts from North Korea, the Ivory Coast, and Nigeria, in Igbo and Yoruba. These are all in their
native languages, and I believe that all of them are unedited.
