Al Jazeera America has made its first on-air hire and tapped CNN reporter Ali Velshi to host a business show for the start-up cable network.
Velshi, born in Kenya and raised in Canada, has been with CNN for a dozen years, anchoring “Your Money” and serving as the cable news network’s chief business correpondent.
Al Jazeera America said Velshi’s half-hour will be a broad look at the U.S. economy both on business and consumers. Initially, the show will be weekly but will eventually become a daily program.
