History edit
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2023) |
Channel 20 started broadcasting on 30 June 2014.
In 2021, it was announced that Channel 20 will be rebranded to Now 14 (Hebrew: עכשיו 14) and subsequently moved to the 14th slot on TV receivers, right after Reshet 13. The move happened on 28 November that year.[citation needed]
The channel moved studios a couple times, and their most recent move was on the 28th of November 2021, when they moved to their current studio in Modi'in.[citation needed]
The channel primarily features news programming and, occasionally, religious programming, though the quantity of religious programs has been on a decline as the channel shifted to a more news-oriented approach over the years.[citation needed]
The most popular show on the channel is The Patriots, which features a panel of journalists and other activists discussing issues in the world, as well as commenting on social media posts from various people, and everyone is given a limited time to give an opinion. When the time is over, a buzzer is activated.[citation needed]
Now 14's main news show is broadcast at 19:30 Israel time since 28 November 2021, unlike the other big three channels which broadcast their main news show at around 20:00.[citation needed]
The Logically Facts fact-checking site reported in 2024 that
According to The Times of Israel, the "incendiary right-wing" news broadcaster Channel 14 was a "largely dismissed bit player in the media industry" until its viewership grew exponentially in 2023, which sparked concern due to its "repeated scandals" and charges of "pro-Netanyahu propaganda." The channel has been described as "the Israeli answer to Fox News" by Ayala Panievsky, a research fellow at Cambridge University and City University of London specializing in right-wing populism, who, in a 2023 opinion piece in the Israeli news outlet Haaretz, wrote that Channel 14 is "propagandistic."[2]
