The Knesset will discuss the future of Channel 10, Israel’s second commercial television channel, in a Monday session of the Finance Committee.
The channel will cease broadcasting in mid-August, according to its management. It is in financial dire straits and its owners appear loath to bail it out, despite generous offers of assistance from the government. Some nationalists see the channel’s woes as the result of the fact that its news shows do not offer the public an alternative to the other left-leaning mainstream media channels.
