The channel, which is already broadcast through five television channels in the country, will reach an estimated five million Polish homes through the site, a press release claimed.

AJE is the first international news broadcaster to be live streamed on the site, which recorded 9.8 million unique users in April as Poland's most popular website.

"Onet.pl is a medium which seeks to offer varied opinion. Having Al Jazeera as a new partner will provide us with the opportunity to increase our diversity and the quality of information we present," said Michal Bonarowski, chief editor and publishing director of Onet.pl, in the release.

"There's a lot of media opinion regarding Al Jazeera, but usually users of Polish internet receive 'second hand' information about the channel. Now, they will have an opportunity to check, what Al Jazeera is really about."

The partnership shows AJE's commitment to communicating news across 'all forms of distribution technology', said Phil Lawrie, director of global distribution for the Al Jazeera Network.
