Reshet 13 (Hebrew: רשת 13‎) is a commercial broadcast television channel in Israel owned by Reshet. It launched on 1 November 2017 as one of two replacements of the outgoing Channel 2.

History

Israel's Channel 2 was operated by the Second Authority for Television and Radio, but was programmed by two rotating companies, Keshet Media Group and Reshet. As part of a larger series of reforms to Israel's broadcast system to increase diversity and competition, Channel 2 was shut down, and both broadcasters were granted their own, separate channels. Reshet 13 officially launched on 1 November 2017, alongside Keshet 12. The Israel Television News Company continues to provide news programmes for both channels; the main primetime bulletin is simulcast by both channels, while other programs are divided among the two channels.[1][2]

In June 2018, due to financial issues regarding the 2017 switch from franchise operation to broadcasting licenses causing the decision to separate Channel 2, RGE, owner of Channel Ten, filed a merger with Reshet's Channel 13.[3]
