i24news is trying with all its might to build a system that can compete, even if partially, with that of the major commercial channels. Branch learned that the editor-in-chief of the venture, former CEO of News 13 Israel Toito, has met in recent weeks with quite a few officials in the news companies of Channels 12 and 13.
One of them is a 13 news anchor Hila Korah, who received an offer, and as far as is known she refused. i24news will soon launch a new news channel in Hebrew that will broadcast from Israel via streaming.
