In 2007 , FSTV moved from Boulder to Denver , covering events inside and outside the 2008 Democratic National Convention , where Barack Obama accepted his party 's nomination for president . Over the following years , the network stepped up its daily coverage of national politics with the addition of '' GRITtv with Laura Flanders '' , '' The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann '' and Al Jazeera English . FSTV 's daily news programs — led by '' The Thom Hartmann Program '' and '' Democracy Now ! '' — became FSTV 's top programs in terms of popularity and " stickiness " ( a measure of audience engagement and loyalty ) . During the Arab Spring , FSTV pre-empted much of its regular non-news programming to Al Jazeera English 's acclaimed reporting from Cairo 's Tahrir Square and other locations
