Al Jazeera America took critics to task in a statement released on Monday. “The recent attacks on us as being anti-Semitic, sexist and anti-American are absurd,” said CEO Ehab Al Shihabi, after a former employee accused the company of discriminatory practices in complaint filed in New York Supreme Court. “Al Jazeera America’s values are based on the highest ethical standards and professionalism.”Responding to backlash regarding recent programming changes, net president Kate O’Brian said, “The changes we’ve made have resulted in more focused programming and expanded field reporting. The way we report the news to our audience and our ability to do that reporting has not been affected.” AJA was launched in August 2013.

IN THE NEWS

The pilot episode of USA hacker drama Mr. Robot, making its linear premiere Wednesday, June 24, will be available for streaming four weeks earlier, on May 27. “It is more important than ever to push boundaries in order to break through the clutter and reach new audiences,” said Chris McCumber, net president. The series will be simulcast on USA sister NBC Universo, with subtitles.

AMC Networks reported a higher-than-forecast 27.5 percent rise in revenue last quarter versus 2014, with net income of $122 million. U.S. nets (AMC, WE tv, BBC America, IFC and SundanceTV) were up 25.4 percent, with a big assist from ad sales for AMC’s Walking Dead and Better Call Saul; International Networks saw a 38.9 percent lift.

Opposite boxing hoopla on HBO and Showtime, NBC’s Saturday Night Live scored a 3.4 HH rating in metered markets, down from 3.8 for the sketch comedy’s last original episode on April 11.

Days after its cancellation by ABC, Revenge had a 20 percent boost among A18-49 (1.2/4) in Sunday, per early Nielsens. Series finale (“Someone has to pay!”) airs May 10.

April was the 42nd consecutive month of year-over-year delivery gains for Velocity among Households and Men 18+ in primetime. The gains were driven in part by new series Junkyard Empire, which debuted as the net’s most watched series launch ever for M18-34, M18-49, P18-34 and P18-49. Across all ad-supported cable, Velocity’s 21 percent increase among M18+ boosted the network six spots in the cable rankings, to number 44.

Destination America had its highest-rated month ever in Prime among HH, P2+, P/W25-54, and W18-49, and recorded its best month ever among W25-54/18-49 in Prime delivery.
