Television channel
Channel 24
(
Hebrew
:
???? 24
), formally known as
Music 24
(
Hebrew
:
?????? 24
), is an Israeli
free-to-air
television channel owned by
Telad
, which was launched on July 20, 2003 and broadcasts
music videos
by
Israeli musicians
. Apart from
music videos
, the channel has different music-related shows, including interviews with musicians, live performances, music-oriented talk shows and programs which are dedicated to a specific genre of music.
The channel's editor-in-chief,
Yoav Kutner
, has been one of the most influential figures in the Israeli rock scene. For more than 20 years he has been instrumental in introducing new singers, both Israeli and foreign, in his radio shows (which he quit in order to head the TV channel) to generations of Israeli music fans.
Music 24 has struggled through monetary and ratings problems since its inception. Critics claim it has become a niche channel for
Israeli bands and singers
which appear only on it and otherwise remain anonymous for the public at large. However, it has been responsible for advancing the careers of others.
In May 2019 the channel was sold to
Telad
, rebranded "The New Channel 24" and re-launched on May 8 and broadcasts Entertainment Shows and Movies besides the music videos and shows.
