What Reshet TV does

Reshet TV (רשת 13), also branded as Channel 13 or Reshet 13, is one of Israel's two licensed concessionaires operating the national commercial television channel (originally Channel 2) since 1993. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv and operates a free-to-air broadcast network complemented by a multi-platform digital footprint including 13tv.co.il live streaming and on-demand video, a dedicated Smart TV application, and iOS/Android mobile apps. Its content portfolio is anchored by a 24-hour news division (News 13, the Central Edition, The World Morning, The Origin, Opening the Day) and a slate of flagship entertainment franchises including The Voice Israel, Power Couple, Big Brother, Survivor, the drama series Double Life, and the interview program Assenheim. The company has extended into vertical content sub-brands — Yummies (food), Mood (travel and lifestyle), and Celebs (celebrity news) — and maintains active social media channels on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp.

Underlying technology comprises a digital streaming platform with VOD capabilities, a Smart TV application, and native mobile apps alongside the traditional live broadcast infrastructure. The company describes two proprietary technology assets: the Live Broadcasting Infrastructure (noted for scale and reliability) and the Smart TV Application (noted for ease of use). No APIs, SDKs, MCP servers, or third-party integrations are disclosed in the source data.

Reshet 13 operates an advertising-funded business model with two monetization streams: traditional television advertising and branded content partnerships in which sponsors are integrated into programming (Coca-Cola is a named sponsor of The Voice Israel, with branded giveaways and partner segments embedded in the show). Viewer access is free; the channel does not employ direct pricing models. The target audience is the broad Hebrew-speaking Israeli general population, segmented horizontally across news, entertainment, and lifestyle content. The company is privately held with no public listing, no disclosed revenue, no disclosed funding rounds, and no parent company identified in the source data.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• ITV plc: Major UK commercial public-service broadcaster with a comparable ad-funded, free-to-air model, flagship entertainment franchises, and a strong streaming platform (ITVX) — a useful benchmark for Reshet's ad + digital pivot.
• RTL Group: Europe's largest commercial broadcaster with free-to-air TV and streaming (RTL+) across multiple markets. Comparable in its ad-funded, content-led model and international format-trading approach.

Direct peers

• Kan (Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation): Israel's public broadcaster operating Kan 11 and Kan Kol HaMusika. While publicly funded rather than ad-supported, it competes with Reshet 13 for the same Israeli audience across news, entertainment, and digital content.
• Now 14 (formerly Channel 10): Now 14 is the third Israeli commercial TV franchise, directly competing with Reshet 13 for national audiences, news ratings, and ad revenue with a similar multi-platform content strategy.
• Keshet Broadcasting (Channel 12): Keshet is the other principal Israeli commercial TV concessionaire (Channel 12), competing head-to-head with Reshet 13 for news viewers, entertainment ratings, and advertising budgets in the same Israeli market.

Emerging players

• Endemol Shine Group: Global production company behind many of the reality formats Reshet 13 licenses (Big Brother, Survivor, etc.). Comparable as a content production/IP owner rather than a broadcaster, but central to Reshet's entertainment pipeline.
• Fremantle: International content producer and rights business (part of RTL Group) producing formats that overlap with Reshet's entertainment slate. Relevant as a content production peer and potential format licensor.

Regional players

• i24NEWS: Israeli-based international news channel broadcasting from the same media ecosystem as Reshet 13. Comparable in news production and Israeli news-market dynamics, though with an international distribution focus.
