Kan Educational ( Hebrew: כאן חינוכית, Kan Hinuchit) is a public television channel in Israel designated for children, on behalf of the Israel Broadcasting Corporation. The channel launched on August 15, 2018 and replaced Israeli Educational Television, which preceded it. It now broadcasts existing IETV programs including older and newer programs, as well as providing new seasons to some of those programs, and also introduce new series along the way. All of its content will be bought from third parties, unlike IETV who produced many of their shows in-house. [1]
Following a reform in public broadcasting initiated by the government and approved by the Knesset in the summer of 2014, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority was replaced in 2017 by the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (aka KAN).
On 15 August 2018, the Israeli Educational Television was shut down and has been replaced by a new kids and youth channel named KAN Educational, now a part of the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation. [2] [3] [4]
The channel moved from Channel 23 to Channel 80 on January 5, 2021. [5]
