Israel+ broadcasts a wide variety of programming including news, current affairs, dramas, and sports primarily from Israel+. The Israeli-based Israel+ itself sources much of its programming from Channel One, Channel 2, Sport 5, and Hop TV.
History
In November 2004, Ethnic Channels Group was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called Israeli TV 1, described as "a national ethnic Category 2 specialty programming undertaking of general interest and devoted to the Hebrew-speaking community."[1]
The channel launched in December 2005 as The Israeli Network initially exclusively on Rogers Cable.[2]
On October 16, 2014, the CRTC approved Ethnic Channels Group's request to convert The Israeli Network from a licensed Category B specialty service to an exempted Cat. B third language service.[3]
In late August 2024, the channel was renamed Israel+.
