Al Jazeera English is to start broadcasting in India where it has just been granted a licence to operate. This potentially gives Al Jazeera the opportunity to broadcast to 115 million households in the world’s second most populous country, increasing Al Jazeera English’s global audience by nearly 50%.
An excellent article on this subject notes that when ALE launched in 2006 they asked to operate in India but were refused by the Indian Home Ministry citing ‘security considerations’.

One interesting note: AJE has in fact been broadcasting in India since its 2006 launch — but only in the predominantly Muslim region of Kashmir. Most of the TVs in the offices of the Valley’s newspapers are tuned to AJE throughout the day.
