I read recently that their ratings are disappointing--they probably aren't hurting for money since their funding comes from deep pockets, but I would really encourage everyone who gets that channel to check it out to boost the ratings that real news reporting gets. They have live correspondents covering stuff everyone else ignores,like elections in Burundi--the way news used to be covered.
