Al Gore sells Current TV to Al-Jazeera, nets reported $100 million Al Gore sells Current TV to Al-Jazeera, nets reported $100 million. It's Emir-acle! Former Vice President Al Gore has made himself a much, much richer man by selling his little watched cable channel Current TV to the Emir of Qatar-funded Arab news channel Al-Jazeera. Gore netted $100 million with his 20 percent stake in the network when it was sold for a reported $500 million on Wednesday. Al-Jazeera plans to euthanize the struggling, seven-year-old Current TV and turn it into Al-Jazeera America by adding five to 10 new U.S. bureaus beyond the five it has now. More than half of its content will be U.S. news, and the network will have its headquarters in New York, according to a rep. But while Al-Jazeera will now be available in millions more American homes, it will not be seen on the nation's second-largest TV operator, Time Warner Cable, as they dropped Current TV immediately after the sale became final.
