Moderate decline

News figures for the 13th edition have been in moderate decline in recent months, when only about a month ago, with the one-time anchor of the Euro games next to it, the company achieved a low of 5.4%. In the other new bands as well, the situation is not alarming, and from the optimistic pursuit of equality with Keshet that accompanied the merger with Channel 10, the company has only a daily expectation that it will not be humiliated. The news company has become a heavier weight than ever on a network - first and foremost at the positional, but also at the economic level.

Avi Ben Tal, CEO of Network 13: "I am happy and welcome the appointment of Aviram to the position of CEO of News 13. Aviram is a first-rate journalist with extensive experience as an editor in several leading journalistic systems as well as knowledge of the commercial television market. With him from the media and the press along with the digital understanding and technological capabilities, he is the right combination for this position and is part of my managerial vision. "And I am sure that under Aviram's management she will achieve great things. On this occasion, I would like to thank Israel Tuito again, who ran News 13 during a difficult and complex period and did so with courage and journalistic integrity."
