The Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) has agreed to provide a daily half-hour English-language newscast for inclusion on MHz Networks’ nationally distributed channel MHz Worldview in the US. The newscast airs live in Israel at 7 PM daily and will air on MHz Worldview at 4:30 PM EDT, beginning the first week of June.
The IBA weekly public affairs series “Close Up” premieres this summer as part of a new international public affairs block on MHz Worldview. “We think this unique programme can help fill a void of information available about this area of the world, and Israel, in particular,” says Frederick Thomas, Chief Executive, MHz Networks.
The newscast will be available to over 2.3 million Washington, DC households via broadcast (over the air), cable, satellite and telco on MHz Networks 1 (MHz Worldview DC).
