Channel 14’s "The Patriots" launched a new interactive feature on Tuesday night through the C14 app, allowing viewers to answer live polls during the broadcast and influence the studio debate in real time. The network said the tool is meant to turn the audience into active participants in the national agenda, giving hosts and panelists immediate public feedback on each issue discussed.
To take part, viewers are asked to download the C14 app on iPhone or Android. According to the program, the system gives the show a broader and more accurate snapshot of Israeli public opinion as the discussion unfolds, effectively creating a live public pulse on the topics under debate.
The first major poll asked a sharp question about Lebanon: whether Israel should oppose demands to withdraw from Lebanon even at the cost of a confrontation with Donald Trump. The results, shown during the broadcast, were overwhelmingly in favor of remaining, with 98% answering yes and only 1% answering no.
The article said the new setup changes the viewing experience by letting the audience, not only the studio panel, shape the conversation. Channel 14 presented the feature as a way to give viewers a stronger voice and make their opinions visible to the show instantly.
