authority divided the country into regions and put up for tender licenses for 14 commercial regional radio stations. These are generally geographical in nature, although in practice there is considerable overlap between the various regions (and with certain radio programs being broadcast simultaneously across multiple regional stations through syndication agreements). In 2002 the authority established an additional commercial television station, Channel 10. In 2004 the network's operators and license provisions were reorganized to revitalize the station. In 2005, the original tender for Channel 2 expired and the network was re-bid, and is now run by two operators instead of three. On November 1, 2017, Channel 2 had shut down, and each operator started its own broadcast channel with Keshet was assigned to channel 12 and Reshet was assigned to channel 13. Channel 10 also moved to channel 14. The Israeli News Company would keep producing newscasts for channel 12 and 13.
