In many ways, it's not surprising that AJ want to cover AK because their philosophies are very similar - both seeking to project a realistic view of the Arab world through positive role models and professional production standards.
Most intelligent people in the UK are looking forward to seeing Al Jazeera's new English-language channel helping to produce a more balanced range of news sources worldwide - in the same way that CCTV-9 has done from China and SAB has done from India.
