Al Jazeera America will close out its nearly three-year run with a three-hour retrospective broadcast featuring highlights of the news channel’s reporting since its August 2013 launch.

Al Jazeera stunned its U.S. outpost in January with its decision to pull the plug on its American cable news channel. The company’s website ceased operations in February.

The Qatar-based Al Jazeera charged in the the U.S. cable fray in late 2012 with its $500 million acquisition of what was then Current TV, owned by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt.

Al Jazeera execs repeatedly insisted that the company was focused on building a strong newsgathering operation and had no expectations of realizing immediate profits. That made it a strong draw for many journalists as Al Jazeera America went on a hiring spree of more than 1,000 reporters, producers and digital journos. ABC News veteran Kate O’Brian was recruited as president.

But by last year, reports of turmoil behind the scenes and allegations of bias among top managers — against women, against Israel — surfaced in lawsuits as AJAM saw significant staff turnover and the ouster of founding CEO Ehab Al Shihabi. The parent company has put the channel on the block but it is unlikely to sell for even half of what Al Jazeera paid in 2012. The channel is believed to have about 50 million subscribers at present.

With Al Jazeera America shuttering, the news org still offers English-language programming in the U.S. through its Al Jazeera English feed that serves the U.K. and other territories. Al Jazeera said it intends to expand its existing digital operation to a “multi-platform presence” in the U.S. later this year.

The three-hour farewell will air at 6 p.m. ET and repeat at 9 p.m. ET for the West Coast. The program emphasizes the number of accolades that Al Jazeera America quickly racked up for its reporting, including Peabody, Emmy and DuPont awards.

In a letter to Al Jazeera America’s remaining staffers, O’Brian and Al Jazeera America CEO Al Antsey wrote:
