Channel 16 celebrates reaching 10,000 Instagram followers as the newly launched network expands its digital presence and broadens its television distribution across multiple Israeli platforms.
Channel 16 is rapidly expanding its digital footprint, celebrating a major milestone by reaching 10,000 followers on Instagram. The newly launched channel expressed deep gratitude to its growing audience, emphasizing that this achievement is merely the first step in a much broader journey.
Launched on June 28, 2026, Channel 16 combines news and current affairs with entertainment, culture, and original productions. The flagship evening newscast is anchored by veteran journalist Yaakov Ayalon, while notable figures such as Tzvika Hadar and Maor Zaguri have joined the network to lead entertainment and original content development.
To maximize accessibility, the channel joined the FreeTV service in late August and expanded its reach starting October 4 by becoming available on yes+, STING+, and Partner TV+ at no extra charge on channel 16. These strategic distribution moves continue to draw diverse audiences across multiple platforms.
