Netanyahu has complete control over the Israel Hayom newspapers and the Gali Israel radio station, partial control over Gali Tzahal, and partial control over TV channels 12 and 13

Today (Sunday) Channel 20 will switch to broadcast at number 14 on the remote, a fact that should raise the channel's ratings without taking any active action to improve its level. The channel is known as Netanyahu's spokesman, who will enslave him for his political and personal needs, making him his and his family's home channel.



The importance of mass communication, as an important means of burning consciousness and decisively influencing public opinion, cannot be overstated. Netanyahu understood and internalized this, many years ago. While the government of change continues its overt work, Netanyahu continues his covert work, occupying more and more outposts and strongholds in the Israeli media essential to the engineering of consciousness.



Netanyahu has complete control over the Israel Hayom newspaper and the Gali Israel radio station, partial control over Gali Tzahal, and partial control over TV channels 12 and 13. Channel 20 was established in June 2014 as a heritage channel. In July 2005, the tender for the heritage channel and group was published. Hirsch Media "owned by businessman Shlomo Ben-Zvi (who was the only bidder), won the tender. Shortly before the broadcasts began, businessman Ron Lauder (close to Netanyahu) bought 24% of the channel's shares. However, in the end the channel was not established due to lack of economic viability.



In March 2012, the Cable and Satellite Council announced the second tender to operate the channel.

According to the terms of the tender, the shareholders of the channel had to stand at NIS 24 million, and the winner had to provide a guarantee of NIS 3 million.

The channel's broadcasts will be funded by the sale of commercials and sponsorships as well as the sale of programs and parts of programs. Won it.In August 2013 she received the license to operate the channel.

History of violations

The channel was required to report monthly to the council on the representation of these streams and opinions in its broadcasts. The channel's CEO then threatened to stop the channel's broadcasts and return the license, which of course did not happen. What did happen was the retirement of Channel 20 from the rating committee, alleging harassment

The license states that "the channel's broadcasts will cover a variety of issues related to the heritage of Israel, the Jewish religion, the history, the culture and the tradition of the Jewish people in Israel and the Diaspora." The channel did not have a license to broadcast news, because that was not the purpose of its establishment. In June 2015 imposed a fine on Channel 20 by the Second Authority for 100,000 shekels after which aired campaign rally, in contrast to the stated license granted to him. Two months later, the channel was fined again, this time in the amount of NIS 150,000 due to broadcast news bulletins was not permitted to broadcast them.


December 2016 The Cable and Satellite Council suddenly approved the channel to broadcast news as well.



In July 2017, the Cable and Satellite Council initiated infringement proceedings against the channel, following the broadcast of an interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A month later the channel again violated the terms of the license, this time because it does not allow representation for the currents: the Reforms and the Conservatives. The channel was fined NIS 100,000.

The channel's CEO (Shachi Franz) threatened to stop the channel's broadcasts and return the license, which of course did not happen.

Does Netanyahu's speech

The channel is known for doing Netanyahu's thing.

Starting with Riklin's interview with Sarah Netanyahu, going on to fill the key roles in the channel, and ending with an unlimited screen time given to Netanyahu and his shofars

In February 2018, with the help of Netanyahu's spirit, the Knesset passed the "Channel 20 Law", which is an amendment to legislation that allows designated channels such as Channel 20 to broadcast news. It was also determined that only 51% of the channel's broadcasts would deal with heritage and not 75% as previously determined.



At the same time, Prime Minister Netanyahu was banned from dealing with media issues due to a conflict of interest, and following the facts revealed about alleged offenses committed by Netanyahu in the Bezeq-Walla affair. Ordered to read unequivocally, to act in favor of Channel 20.



Immediately after the amendment of the law, the channel began broadcasting new editions.

In the years 2018-2020, the channel collaborated with the Gali Israel radio station, which is having a hard time hiding its unreserved sympathy for Netanyahu.

Channel 20 tends to interview and host people with extreme and often racist and provocative attitudes.

For example, on November 18, the channel broadcast an interview with the criminal Yitzhak Gabay, who was convicted of setting fire to the bilingual school in Jerusalem and even ran 3 years in prison for the arson. The



channel is known for doing Netanyahu. Where Sarah speaks, and Riklin nods (Riklin: "I did an excellent journalistic job") for manning key roles in the channel, ending with unlimited screen time given to Netanyahu and his mouthpieces, attacking and attacking in blatant language, political opponents, police, prosecutors, media and the judiciary. It is that Netanyahu is responsible for marking the targets, and Channel 20 for attacking them.

The Big Brother Legacy

In an attempt to reward and reward his servants, Netanyahu tried to promote the "Watergan" startup (which turns air into water) of the Mirelshvili family.

In 2017, Netanyahu met the company's chairman Maxim Pasik with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. By the way, Netanyahu's meetings with the channel's owners are always coincidental and unplanned

However, there is no need to look for examples (which exist in abundance) about the connection between Netanyahu and the channel. In September 2019, Netanyahu said with his own mouth: "I fought like a lion to save Channel 20." Since then the lion has indeed lost its majesty and mane, but not the sympathy of Mirelshvili and his channel.

In 2017, Netanyahu met the company's chairman Maxim Pasik with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. By the way, Netanyahu's meetings with the channel's owners are always coincidental and unplanned. Such a rare coincidence occurred in January 2019 when Michael ("Micho") Mirelshvili, the owner of Channel 20 and the startup Watergan, arrived in Brasilia completely by accident, at the same time as Prime Minister Netanyahu's political visit to the Brazilian capital.



Channel 20 tries to wear an ideological mask of a right-wing, Jewish and patriotic channel, but in fact it is a bibistic channel for all intents and purposes.

He will always attack clear right-wingers such as: Bennett, Ya'alon, Saar, Lieberman, Elkin, Shaked, Begin and others, just because they are Netanyahu's political opponents.



Today, as mentioned, the channel will win the lottery, and will start broadcasting with its number 14 on the sign.



From the channel's broadcast schedule, it appears that at 7.30 pm, the broadcast of "Big Brother" from season number 9 - Maggie Tabib, together with Jonathan Ohayon will present the main edition.

For those who want to continue to enjoy the channel's broadcasts, at 20.00 he will be able to watch the "Patriots" program when the woman's box will be filled by Mrs. Tal Gilboa, the "Big Brother" emission from season number 6.



Indeed, a true heritage channel for all intents and purposes.

The legacy of "Big Brother".
