However controversial, Al Jazeera was rapidly becoming one of the most influential news agencies in the whole region. Its annual budget was estimated at US$25 million at the time. The agency had bureaux at a dozen sites as far away as EU and Russia. Employment had more than tripled in one year to 500 employees. On 1 January 1999, Al Jazeera began to broadcast for 24-hours daily. In a precursor of a pattern to follow, its exclusive video clips were highly prized by Western media. Īl Jazeera was the only international news network to have correspondents in Iraq during the Operation Desert Fox bombing campaign in 1998. There were also commercial repercussions: a number of Arab countries reportedly pressured advertisers to avoid the channel, to great success. In 1999, the Algerian government reportedly cut power to several major cities in order to censor one broadcast. Some jammed Al Jazeera's terrestrial broadcast or expelled its correspondents. It also led to official complaints and censures from neighboring governments.

This prompted a torrent of criticism from the conservative voices among the region's press. Lively and far-ranging talk shows, particularly a popular, confrontational one called The Opposite Direction, were a constant source of controversy regarding issues of morality and religion. In presenting "The opinion and the other opinion" (the station's motto), it did not take long for Al Jazeera to shock local viewers by presenting Israelis speaking Hebrew on Arab television for the first time.

While other local broadcasters in the region would assiduously avoid material embarrassing to their home governments (Qatar has its own official TV station as well), Al Jazeera was pitched as an impartial news source and platform for discussing issues relating to the Arab world. The unfolding of Operation Desert Storm on CNN International underscored the power of live television in current events. Īl Jazeera was not the first such broadcaster in the Middle East a number had appeared since the Arabsat satellite, a Saudi Arabia-based venture of 21 Arab governments, took orbit in 1985. A more powerful K u-band transponder became available as a peace-offering after its user, Canal France International, accidentally beamed 30 minutes of pornography into ultraconservative Saudi Arabia. Īt the time of the Al Jazeera Media Network launch, Arabsat was the only satellite broadcasting to the Middle East, and for the first year could only offer Al Jazeera a weak C-band transponder that needed a large satellite dish for reception.

Al Jazeera is also available through satellites (which was also free to users in the Arab world), although Qatar, and many other Arab countries barred private individuals from having satellite dishes until 2001. It was broadcast to the immediate neighborhood as a terrestrial signal, and on cable. It offered 6 hours of programming per day this increased to 12 hours of programming by the end of 1997. Al Jazeera's first day on the air was 1 November 1996.
