Kan 11 with a surprising appointment: Haredi media personality to host a new program
After establishing its status as the strongest station in the sector, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation's radio station is adding a leading current affairs host to its ranks, who will host the central slot every evening.
Media personality Yossi Ben Atar is joining "Kan Moreshet" to host the station's central current affairs slot. The program will be broadcast every evening at 19:00, covering the day's events, politics, society, and key issues on the agenda, with a special emphasis on the religious and Haredi world.
Ben Atar, who brings extensive experience in radio broadcasting and current affairs, will join the team of "Kan Moreshet" hosts to summarize the day's events through a series of interviews, commentaries, and conversations with decision-makers and public opinion leaders in Israel.
Ben Atar's arrival is part of a broader effort to strengthen the "Kan Moreshet" broadcast schedule and expand coverage of issues relevant to the Haredi, religious, and traditional public. This follows the latest TGI survey data, which confirmed that "Kan Moreshet," part of the Israel Broadcasting Corporation, has become the most influential religious-Haredi radio station in Israel.

Yonatan Sorek, Director of "Kan Moreshet," stated:
"Yossi Ben Atar brings with him experience, sharpness, and deep familiarity with the political and public arena. His joining "Kan Moreshet," the largest radio station among the Haredi and religious public in Israel, will bring an experienced, curious, and interesting voice to our evening broadcast. It is another layer in our process of strengthening the station as a radio home for the Torah-observant public in Israel."
Yossi Ben Atar added:
"I am excited to join Kan, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation, and especially my new home — Kan Moreshet. Independent public broadcasting is an important asset, and I thank the management — Ido Tamri and Yonatan Sorek — for their trust and this privilege. A big thank you also to my friend Dov Eichler, my predecessor, who paved the way. We will set a sharp and clear agenda, with ongoing engagement in matters of politics, settlement, sectors, and Jewish culture. You will know more — and react more."
