During Al Jazeera America's existence, Current's New York City studios were home to the Al Jazeera America shows "On Point with Ali Velshi" and "Third Rail". Many of the people formerly employed by Current stayed on with the new network, most notably Christof Putzel, formerly of the Current TV series "Vanguard", who became an investigative reporter for Al Jazeera America's show "America Tonight". Michael Shure formerly of "The War Room" left but came back to the channel as a political contributor. David Shuster, another former Current TV face, remained with the network becoming a reporter and fill-in host.
