It's still not widely available in the US (as of last year, one of the few cable companies to offer it was city-owned Burlington Telecom, which serves 1,200 homes in Vermont) and its not exactly local access, non-corporate (funded by the petro-monarchy in Qatar), but Al Jazeera English does offer an alternative view for big TV news, particularly on the Middle East. Better yet, much of their content is posted for free on YouTube, from the standard news shows to odd talking heads and their entertainment show, which this week carried the entirety of last year's Oscar winner for best short film, "West Bank Story."
Also the Daily Show did a pretty funny spot on the channel a while back.
