LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - While the fate of most of the network's anchors is fuzzy, behind-the-scenes staff are likely to be reassigned. Even the network's two primetime anchors, Ali Velshi and Joie Chen will have much less airtime.

Act now, please help save fellow Christians from genocide!

The network's afternoon and evening programing may also be eliminated.

It is unclear why such massive overhauls are taking place in the nearly two-year-old network. The parent company operates with the support of the Qatar government and is financially stable, but perhaps the reason has a little less to do with money.

Don't wait! 2015 is your year to come closer to God.

Al Jazeera is not well known by the American public, and it certainly has not developed the political clout to draw in a particularly loyal audience.

This foreign created media outlet's days may be numbered, though only time can tell.
