Russia Today or post-Aljazeera era

I have no evidence and no survey to base this on, but I am gathering more anecdotal evidence that the Russian Arabic TV, RT, is gaining more viewership in the Arab world.  I receive it on one of my satellite dishes here at home but never bothered to watch.  I should.  Even its website is gaining popularity.  I think that this is part of the post-Aljazeera era that we have entered.
