Channel 12 has made a dramatic decision to renew its contract with veteran television personality Guy Pines, ensuring his continued presence on the network despite a challenging media landscape. The decision comes as the contract for Pines's long-running entertainment show, "Evening טוב with Guy Pines," was nearing its end.
The renewal occurs during a fierce competition for late-night viewership, with rival channels, notably Channel 14 and Reshet 13, increasingly challenging Channel 12's ratings. This competitive pressure is compounded by the ongoing complex security and news environment, which consistently impacts entertainment and leisure programming.
Despite these challenges, Channel 12 views Pines not just as a stable broadcasting anchor but as a strategic asset that cannot afford to be lost to competitors. His show has maintained stable viewership numbers and demonstrated relative immunity to rating fluctuations, prompting the channel's management to avoid unnecessary risks.
However, Guy Pines himself has continued to deny the details of the contract renewal, even as discussions were held within the channel's management. Channel 12 has not yet issued a response to these reports. The move's impact on the intense ratings battle for late-night slots and the future of Pines's program on the channel remains to be seen.
