Like most other countries, we have cable companies in Israel. The citizens of Israel have two different major cable companies, offering a lot of varied and unique television entertainment.
The first of the cable companies is called Hot. Hot has its own studio. The Hot cable company has a lot of shows that are specific to Hot. Since I only had this cable a couple of years ago and for the "very lengthy" duration of an entire week, I am not one to know too much about this company. However, the majority of my classmates own this cable and they are satisfied with it.
The second cable company is called Yes (I don’t have a clue why both of them chose an English name). While this company lacks unique content, it delivers great show/film theme based channels. For example, an entire channel is for action films, another channel is dedicated for documentaries and one for drama shows. This allows a movie geek such as me the opportunity to jump from one channel to another and experience a movie thrill similar in scale to the one you get to experience in the cinema.
On a slightly smaller scale, Yes and the two major commercial channels (10 and 22) also produce their own successful shows, creating a stream of Israeli content to the watcher. Depending on what cable you own and what channel you choose, it affects the content that you watch, even on the same channel. I've found that, for example, shows that are made for the kid/teens channel by the channel itself are comedy-based while shows made specifically for the adult cable viewers tend to be plot-based.
The vast amounts of sheer entertainment value I get from the small screen in Israel satisfies me, and I can say wholeheartedly that it is a privilege to be blessed with such content.
