Al Jazeera America is launching today on Time Warner Cable systems, the two companies announced this morning.

The deal will expand AJAM's distribution significantly, with TWC having around 11 million subscribers, including a substantial chunk of the New York and Los Angeles TV markets. When the switch is flipped, AJAM will be available in around 55 million homes, up from around 40 million when it launched in August.
