I24NEWS (Israeli TV channel)
i24NEWS is a 24-hour news television channel created by journalists and reporters from Israel. It broadcasts in languages such as French, English, Hebrew, and Arabic. The channel was founded by Patrick Drahi, with Frank Melloul serving as its first CEO. In 2025, Ronit Ganon-Amit was appointed CEO of i24NEWS, while Frank Melloul was promoted to Chairman. The company is based in Tel Aviv, but the broadcast network reports news from all over the world.
In early 2017, the channel paired up with the US to expand their channel. By 2018, the company had studios in Tel Aviv, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. It still deploys correspondents in other locations around the world. In September 2021, following the Abraham Accords, the channel received a broadcasting license from the United Arab Emirates and opened its Gulf bureau in Dubai Media City. In May 2022, the channel launched its operations in Morocco with two new bureaus in Rabat and Casablanca.
In June 2024, i24NEWS launched a Hebrew language channel, the fourth channel of the network. This version is not available on conventional cable and satellite providers in Israel.
The channel went live on 17 July 2013. Melloul stated that it would battle prejudice and ignorance about Israel with "facts and diversity".
Arab Israeli journalist Lucy Aharish was the lead anchor of the English-language branch of the channel from July 2013 until she left in January 2016.
On 8 December 2016, all programming on the English channel officially ended in preparation for launching in America. The channel broadcast 10 minutes of news on the hour from 0800 to 2300 (local time), replacing "Morning Edition", "The Daily Beat" and "The Lineup".
The launch of i24NEWS in the United States was announced on 27 January 2017. The channel is operated out of its headquarters in Jaffa.
Live programming in the US is broadcast from Times Square in New York, New York, as well as from an additional bureau in Washington, D.C. Approximately 50 journalists were hired to staff the two locations, and the channel uses resources from its Jaffa headquarters.
