Legendary Israel Radio to go off the air at 7 p.m.
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael Radio, the mainstay of the country’s airwaves for over 80 years, will go silent at 7 p.m. tonight.
The move follows the shutting down of Channel 1 TV last night as part of the changeover to replace the Israel Broadcasting Authority with a new publicly funded entity, known as “Kan.”
The TV went off the air last night with only a two-hour notice. The way the situation has been handled has drawn widespread criticism.
Speaking on Channel 2, veteran news anchor Haim Yavin is calling for a commission of inquiry at the highest levels.
