Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz decided, Thursday, to appoint a team to study the possibility of reaching a debt-rescheduling agreement with financially troubled Channel 10 Television. Serving on the team will be Harel Locker, the chief of the Prime Minister's Office, as well as Budget Director Gal Hershkowitz and accountant general Michal Abadi-Boiangiu.

The team is scheduled to meet, next week, with representatives of Channel 10's owners in an attempt to formulate a reasonable arrangement that will enable the station to continue to operate with preserving the rights of the state.
