Qatar ? Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television announced Tuesday that it would launch its English language channel Al-Jazeera International Nov. 15.

Al-Jazeera International is billed as the first global English-language news network headquartered in the Middle East. Its executives have promised to cover the news from a different perspective, and reverse the information flow from the developing world to the West.

When it hits the airwaves, the network will broadcast 24 hours, with 12 daily hours of live news accompanied by another 12 hours of interview programs, features and analysis, the network said in a prepared release.

It was unclear whether viewers in the U.S. would be able to watch the new network. Al-Jazeera International has yet to announce any distribution rights with U.S. cable networks. It also wasn’t known whether the network would be available on all major satellite providers.
