Israel Radio Stations

Israeli radio's most distinctive feature is army broadcasting: Galei Tzahal and its music offshoot Galgalatz, run by the military, are among the country's most popular stations, their playlists shaping Israeli pop taste. Public broadcaster Kan operates Hebrew news and music networks plus Arabic-language Makan. Mizrahi pop dominates music formats, news updates punctuate every hour on the hour, and Russian-language REKA serves immigrant communities.
