What will it take for local media outlets with free-to-air channels to stream live on Youtube like Al Jazeera does...making use of Google's extensive CDN? I might have heard of some Kenyan-based initiatives elsewhere but most I've seen do not work after some time.

A lot of media is consumed online by the local netizens (hands up those who watch more video daily on computer/laptop/ipad etc than on TV), so this is only a logical step to follow. And no, select video uploads to Youtube channels does not count.

Suggestions, anyone?

This is pretty simply achievable.
All you need is;
a) huge chunk of bandwidth to support the publishing point
b) probably a license to rebroadcast over the internet.

Then you can also do it from the comfort of your house, should you meet both a & b
I think its lack of initiative from the media houses, but then again what is in it for them to pursue streaming, i.e who is going to pay for it?
BTW Mark where can I get proper info on Google CDN...please no JFGI
