On 30th March,1936, the British authorities in Palestine decided to permit broadcasting in
Hebrew on the mandatory radio. After fifty years of broadcasting, Kol Israel of today, the state radio, broadcasts over 6
wavelengths:
The "Sound of Music" Program broadcasts on FM stereo and is devoted to the different periods and styles of classical music. Program A broadcasts educational, informational, religious and traditional programs, for immigrants, youth and families.
Program B is the news program, dealing with topical issues, with a selection of service broadcasts on matters of policy, society, economy and many other spheres. It also features cultural, artistic and entertainment programs and radio games.
Program C is the popular music program, featuring in stereo, programs of songs and ballads for the whole family.
Program D is Kol Israel in Arabic. A firm emphasis is placed on news and topical matters. Service broadcasts and music programs embracing a variety of topics are beamed to Israel, the region and the world. Contact with listeners is strong and of particular note are the many letters coming from Arab countries.
