When are the CURRENT political shows ending?

I still enjoy the Young Turks, the War Room, and others. But I just heard Joy Behar say that today is her next to last show. I don't watch her too much, but I hope that isn't true for all the shows.

I think CURRENT is good competition for MSNBC from the left. When it ends, I think the rightward swing will become even more pronounced there.

1. I think in about 2 weeks. You can go to google and type in Current tv and it may

give you some information.

2. Mid August

Don't know the exact date, but thought I heard Aug. 20th for the SMS.

3. John Fugelsang said tonight he has 9 more shows.

So that's tomorrow night and two more weeks, Monday-Thursday.

4. here's the Wikipedia article:

(ok, not always first-rate source, but this seems neutral enough)

Current Media is owned by the Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera Media Network, which announced its acquisition on January 2, 2013. Al Jazeera has stated that it plans on shutting down the Current TV channel, retaining its off-air staff and launching a new New York-based channel called Al Jazeera America using Current's distribution network. It also plans on scrapping the channel's programming lineup and brand. Previously, Gore, Hyatt, and Ronald Burkle each held a sizable stake in Current, and Comcast and DirecTV each held a smaller stake. Al Jazeera America plans to launch and replace Current on August 20, 2013.

It appears that Al Jazeera purchased it only for it's broadcast and distribution assets. If it is anything like it's current-running Al Jazeera English newscast, it will be as boring as hell.
