Channel 9 Live Stream

Channel 9 is the Russian-language television channel of Kan, Israel's public broadcaster, carrying news and programmes in Russian from Tel Aviv.

Israel in Russian

The grid is built on news editions in Russian, current-affairs programmes and general entertainment, covering Israel and the world for the country's Russian-speaking community. Its journalism follows Israeli politics, society and daily life in the language that community uses at home.

A million Russian speakers

Israel's Russian-speaking population came mainly with the wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union after 1990, which brought around a million people in a decade. They formed their own press, radio and television market, and a Russian-language channel within the public broadcaster is a recognition of how large that audience is.

Public broadcasting in Israel

Kan was created in 2017 to replace the Israel Broadcasting Authority, and its services include Hebrew, Arabic and Russian channels. Funding through the licence fee rather than advertising shapes what it can carry, including programming for minority communities.

Distribution

Channel 9 broadcasts on Israeli platforms and streams through its own site, reaching Russian-speaking viewers in Israel and the diaspora.
