Al Jazeera Mubasher (AJM; Arabic: الجزيرة مباشر) is a public affairs television network launched by Al Jazeera Media Network originally on April 15, 2005. As such, it is an Arabic channel based in Doha, Qatar that broadcasts conferences and other events live without editing or commentary, using subtitles when translation is needed.[clarification needed] The channel is also sometimes referred to as Al Jazeera Live,[1] as Mubasher is an Arabic word for Live (as in live broadcast) and Al-‘Amma is Arabic for General. The channel was formerly called just Al Jazeera Mubasher.

Al Jazeera Mubasher Al-‘Amma is the first channel of its kind in the Arab world and is similar to the U.S. channel C-SPAN and UK channel BBC Parliament. The channel also has a live stream of its broadcast on its website.

In 2014, the channel underwent a graphics upgrade as part of Al Jazeera Media Networks graphics upgrade across the company.

Launched in April 2005, Al Jazeera Mubasher is the first Middle Eastern 24-hour live news and events channel. The channel broadcasts real-time footage of global and regional events.

The channel has remote feeds and on-the-ground cameras broadcasting political gatherings, press conferences, discussions, and meetings, broadcasting the latest on political, social, cultural and economic affairs. The channel feed mainly provides live and uncut livestream.

On December 20, 2014, it was announced that Al Jazeera Media Network would coalesce both Al Jazeera Mubasher and the temporarily suspended Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr into a new combined channel called Al Jazeera Al-‘Amma (AJMG) or Al Jazeera Live General.[2]
