I don't think Al Jazzera or SKY Atlantic are mediocre. I just think their latest viewing figures make it difficult to justify them as being must have channels.
Week October 17th to 23rd:
SKY Atlantic: 762,000 Daily Viewers - 0.3% of the overall weekly viewing share
Al Jazzera: 252,000 Daily Viewers - % of the weekly share too low to register
Based on these viewing figures SKY Atlantic is the 43rd most popular / viewed channel in the UK accoring to BARB. The 43 channels ahead of SKY Atlantic are all on Virgin Media.
Al Jazzera which is on SKY, Freesat and Freeview has terrible figures when you consider just how much exposure it has. Al Jazzera is the 105th most popular viewed channel in the UK accoring to BARB.
The CBS channels are even further down the list than Al Jazzera. The less said about TCM2 and MTV Classics the better. I don't think they even get into the top 150.
