Reshet Aleph

Reshet AlephReshet Aleph
Reshet Alef

Reshet Aleph is one of the Kol Israel channels operated by Israel Broadcasting Authority. It specialises in general matters and cultural programs, with news broadcasts in Hebrew.

This was first radio channel of Kol Israel that’d started to broadcast in Hebrew. Reshet Aleph topics include culture, art, literature and poetry, tradition, folklore, history and professional council.

“Young minds” – Reshet Aleph’s programme for teenagers – is one of the very first programmes of this kind in the history of radio.

Several times the station had found itself on the verge of closing or merging with other stations of Kol Israel. In 2004, Reshet Alefph had been forced to share the frequency with Reshet Moreshet. This decision had led to a significant decrease in station’s broadcasting hours. Instead of 24 hours per day schedule with pre-recorded night programmes, Reshet Aleph is now broadcasting only 10 hours per day (6:00-16:00) during weekdays. On weekends, Reshet Aleph broadcasts since Shabbat starts on Friday till it ends on Saturday evening.

102.8 FM North and Upper Galelee
100.7 FMB Tzfat, Beer Sheva

Galgalatz is popular radio station under IDF authority, established in 1993. It broadcasts mainly popular music, newscasts and traffic reports and has extremely high rating, especially amongst younger listeners. The station runs weekly pop-charts based on online voting of the audience, as well as one annual hit-parade closing the song of the year.

The name of the station is a reminder of the main station it affiliates to – Galatz (Galey Tzahal = Waves of IDF) and a reflection of a traffic safety content of the station (Hebrew “galgal” = “wheel”).

Galgalatz is broadcasting 17 hours a day, from 7:00 till midnight. It’s traffic reports are considered to be extremely credible and once were even accepted in Court as an evidence.
