history
Arutz Scheva was founded by the Beit El Yeshiva . The station started operations in 1988 and first broadcast from the ship "MV Hatzvi" in the Mediterranean .
The Israeli government tried several times to stop the station from broadcasting. It wasn't until 1999 that the Knesset passed a law that legalized radio broadcasting.
On March 26, 2002, the Supreme Court revoked the broadcaster's license to broadcast within Israel. The Supreme Court thus granted a motion by Knesset members of the left-wing Avoda and the Meretz Party, as well as the radical secular Shinui Party, who had voted for the 1999 Knesset decision to be overturned.
Today Arutz Scheva is broadcast over the Internet under the name Arutz Sheva Israel National Radio . He describes himself as the only independent radio station in Israel and offers an English-language program. In addition, Internet television programs in English and Hebrew are produced, as well as a website with news and a free printed weekly newspaper. Well-known authors include Schmuel Sackett .
