Channel 2 set to broadcast its Obama interview

PREAMBLE: Channel 2’s Yonit Levy interviewed President Barack Obama in the White House on Wednesday — winning the battle of the Israeli television stations to scoop a conversation with the president ahead of his visit to Israel next Wednesday through Friday.

In the final analysis, it was the ratings that won it for Channel 2. It has far higher viewership than commercial rival Channel 10, which is said to be fuming. Especially as Levy and Channel 2 secured the last Israeli TV interview with Obama, in July 2010.
