The new main building of the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation in Jerusalem, inaugurated in 2017
Television in Israel refers to television broadcasting services in the State of Israel, inaugurated on March 24, 1966. Initially, there was one state-owned channel, operated jointly by the Israel Broadcasting Authority and the Israeli Educational Television. In 1986, a second state-regulated channel was launched. This channel became a state-regulated commercial channel in 1993. An additional commercial channel was introduced in 2002, followed by the introduction of three commercial niche channels: an Israeli Russian-speaking channel (in 2002), a channel of Israeli popular music (in 2003) and an Arabic-speaking channel (in 2012). Colour transmissions were introduced gradually around 1977 and 1979. Multichannel cable television service became available to subscribers gradually since 1989, although illegal cable TV stations were present in the big cities during the 1980s. Satellite-based multichannel service has been available since 2000.
Almost 75% of the population is subscribed to pay TV systems which are provided by cable service provider "HOT", or by a satellite service provider "Yes".[1]
The Israel Broadcasting Authority closed down in May 2017 and was replaced by the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation as the operator of the state-owned TV channels. Channel 2 split into two channels in November 2017, giving each of the two remaining commercial companies a channel of its own: Keshet 12, and Reshet 13.
