From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al Jazeera Sports +1 is a pan-Arabic TV sports channel. It is part of the Al Jazeera network. Like its sister channels Al Jazeera Sports and Al Jazeera Sports +2 (as well as the Al Jazeera Children's Channel), Al Jazeera Sports +1 is headquartered in Doha's Education City (separate from Doha's Al Jazeera/Al Jazeera English studios). Al Jazeera Sports +1 started broadcasting in 2004, and gathered a sizable audience because of its coverage of the Spanish football league. It went on to win the rights to the Italian football league the following year. Al Jazeera Sports +1 initially was a free-to-air satellite channel, but after commercial pressures the channel was scrambled, making it pay TV, though in comparison to similar channels, the fee, as of 2007, remains extremely low.
