History

In September 2001, Africa Israel Investments, a financial group headed by Lev Leviev won the tender for the creation of Israel TV channel in Russian. Established in November 2002,[1] the channel's first CEO was Yulia Shamalov-Berkovich, who led the company until February 2004.[2] The station began broadcasting on 12 November 2002.

In May 2013, Israeli-Russian businessman Alexander Levin purchased control of the channel for NIS 6 million.[3]

The channel is aimed at the one million plus Russian speakers who have immigrated to the country since 1990. It was rebranded as Channel 9 (9 Kanal), the channel on which it is broadcast on cable and satellite. It is available in North America via free-to-air satellite on Galaxy 25.[4]
