by Global Information Network
January 1, 2003
JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 1 (GIN) - Initial reports that the South
African Broadcasting Corporation would drop CNN for Al-Jazeera,
the Qatar-based Persian Gulf news network well known for
broadcasting videotaped messages from Osama bin Laden, have been
denied by the SABC.
However, Al-Jazeera could be added to the line-up.
SABC spokesperson Ihron Rensburg said the broadcaster was
looking at a range of options.
"The main objective is to provide viewers with the widest
range of news as it happens." Under review, said Rensburg, was
CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera and Sky News.
