Al Jazeera English is now available on the recently launched Apple TV, providing viewers with global news coverage live and on-demand.


Users can save videos to view later, access their saved content from a watch list, access Al Jazeera's live video stream, and see the Qatar-based international news channel's daily schedule.

"Al Jazeera works diligently to make sure that our rich content is available on all new digital platforms. The launch of the Al Jazeera app on Apple TV is just one example and we will continue to add more," said Ibrahim Hamid, director of enterprise and digital platforms, Al Jazeera Media Network.

"Future versions of our Apple TV apps are already in the process of development which will allow users to have a continuous personalised experience between our mobile apps and the TV apps, essentially allowing you to save videos from your favourites on your mobile app on-the-go and then seamlessly play those videos when you get home to your Apple TV without any hassle."

Imad Musa, manager of Al Jazeera English Online, added: "Whether you are looking for a two-minute clip on the latest developments in Jerusalem, a full documentary on India's rising power in Africa or an impassioned debate on the future of Syria, we want you to be able to find it easily on the device of your choice. Apple TV is another platform which will bring our award winning content to everyone interested in global affairs, anywhere in the world at the touch of a button."
