History

HaHadashot 12 was founded in 1993 with Channel 2, which became one of its most-recognized symbols. The company's news is primarily viewed in Israel. It expanded beyond the evening news bulletin, and began airing programmes such as ''First Edition (מהדורה ראשונה, Mahadora Rishona)'', ''Six With (שש עם, Shesh im)'', ''Meet The Press (פגוש את העיתונות, Pgosh et HaItonut)'', ''Friday Studio (אולפן שישי, Ulpan Shishi)'' and ''The Economic Programme (תוכנית חיסכון, Tochnit Chisachon)''. The company faced competition from other TV channels, Internet websites, and radio.


1993–1997

Channel 2's three franchisees were Reshet, Keshet and

The competing channels covered terrorist attacks as breaking news, with uncensored depictions of body parts. Despite their competition, both channels simulcast the signing of the

Both channels interrupted their broadcasts with the breaking news. A photographer accidentally filmed a soldier's bag with his name on it, painfully informing the soldier's family of his death.


1998–2002

Television audience measurement began in Israel on 15 February 1998, and the Israel Audience Research Board (IARB) began including the company's broadcasts on 5 July of that year. Channel 2's evening news received a 30–40 percent share of the audience, and other programs also had fairly high ratings. That year, the company launched a website with news updates, information about the company's programs, anchors, reporters and commentators and links to the desks, live video streams and featured items. The website was up for three years. In 1999, the company covered its second

; its poll (conducted by Mina Tzemakh and the Dahaf Institution) correctly predicted the prime minister, and the company built a special studio for the telecast. That April, Haim Yavin returned to anchoring Channel 1's ''Mabat''. Channel 1 began airing ''19:30'', an early election-news programme; Channel 2 responded with ''World Order'', anchored by Arad Nir. In December 1999, a Millennium Studio with holographics was built. The studio was demolished on 2 January 2000. During the early 2000s, when Channel 2 was Israel most-watched, anchors changed and reporters joined. They included Carmel Lutzati,

The evening news was extended from 30 to 45 minutes, and to an hour in 2003; the three-minute commercial break at the end of the programme became 12 minutes of interspersed commercials. The Second Intifada began in 2000, and the company prepared to cover news at odd hours in live reports from the field. The Ministry of Communication planned to establish a dedicated 24-hour news channel; bidding began, and Ya'akov Eilon (who left to join the competing company Hadashot Israel) was replaced by Miki Haimovich. Hadashot Israel began producing Channel 10's news programmes. Plans for the news channel faded, and Eilon left Hadashot Israel to found Channel 10's independent news company in 2003. Channel 10's news, which aired at 19:00, was moved to 20:00 to compete with Channel 2's news. Channel 2 began using
