Looking forward to seeing this. The build up has been long and intense, so it should be hopefully be a decent launch. They have the resources to do this properly, so I will be very surprised if we are let down by this.

It's not on normal FTA TV or Pay TV. You need to have a Satellite STB to pick this up. You can watch it online though, keep visiting the Al Jazeera English website and you should be able to watch it there.
I'm not too sure how their online stream will hold up though with everyone wanting to watch it online. I suspect it will shit itself very quickly

The AJE theme music loop playing on the channel is quite soothing actually
Yeah, it is isn't it? I just flicked over for a quick look while Michael Schultz was rambling about the RSPCA during the weather on Ten News.

It is very soothing. They certainly have picked themselves a good theme
Just hit 2 hours in the countdown

where can one find this theme?
I suppose I can record it and upload it. The countdown loop music is so bloody quiet though (soothing, but quiet), I had to turn the speakers right up to as loud as they go to actually hear it properly.

Here's 5 minutes of the loop for anyone who does want it Certainly not the best audio quality because they have the volume set so low 
Still nice to listen to though
+ AJE-2006,11,15-CountdownToLaunchTheme.mp3 (4.6mb)
Right-click link and use the "Save Target As" option to download.

2 Providers in Australia will be carrying this channel as listed on the AJE site
It really is a shame FOXTEL aren't carrying it considering it's already on one of their transponders anyway
Less than an hour to go now

Here is a video containing 8 idents which are to be used on AJE I'm not sure whether these are used on the normal Arabic channel.
+ AJE-2006,11,15-IdentsPackage.rmvb (12.3mb)
Right-click link and use the "Save Target As" option to download.
One thing is for sure, it's amazing what they can do with that logo of theirs. They do some great animations with that.
Enjoy!

I'm not noticing that, maybe it's just you 
I think so too... and seeing that the music is composed by the same composer as BBC News then theres another reason to think that!

Kevin... I know you like your daylight, but getting sunburnt really is not a good thing.
