KAN 11 is a free-to-air television channel linked to Israel's public broadcasting, associated with Jerusalem - Israel. Founded in 2017, it follows a public-service approach that mixes journalism, culture, and general-interest programming. The schedule commonly shifts between newscasts, studio conversations, and special productions, aiming to balance fast updates with clearer explanation. Across different time slots, the tone tends to stay practical and direct, keeping attention on stories that shape public life.
The channel's background is connected to the former First Channel, and the transition helped establish a more current identity while preserving a public role. Broadcasting began on May 15, 2017 and, between June 4 and August 3, 2017, the channel carried some content from Israeli Educational Television, widening early formats and themes. That initial mix helps explain the current variety in pacing and style, with information-led programming alongside cultural content.
Editorially, credibility is supported by the combination of reporting, analysis, and studio-based discussion, often designed to clarify causes and consequences. When coverage demands continuous monitoring, Live TV becomes a straightforward way to follow updates and shifting developments without losing the narrative thread. At the same time, part of the lineup slows down to add interviews and longer features, offering broader context and cultural framing that complements day-to-day news.
Since launch, the channel has broadcast in HD, supporting sharper studio production and cleaner visuals for debates and recorded programs. In November 2017, it began updating part of its content toward 4K resolution on a separate secondary channel, reflecting a technical upgrade without leaving free-to-air transmission behind. Overall, the channel maintains a consistent public-service presence connected to Jerusalem - Israel, combining journalism and culture in a schedule built around varied formats and steady standards.
