Channel 1 (Israel)
Channel 1 (Hebrew: הערוץ הראשון, romanized: HaArutz HaRishon, lit. 'The First Channel', sometimes called Arutz Ahat (1 ערוץ)) was the second oldest television channel in Israel (behind the Israeli Educational Television) and one of five terrestrial channels in the country (along with Channel 2, Channel 10, Channel 33 and the Knesset Channel). Run by the Israel Broadcasting Authority, it started broadcasting on 2 May 1968, and was largely funded through a television licence, though there were some adverts.
