Radio Hosts Yinon Magal and Ben Caspit Consider Ending Partnership

Radio hosts Yinon Magal and Ben Caspit discussed the potential end of their popular show on Monday on 103FM, suggesting they may have exhausted the program's concept. Magal stated, "It seems to me that we have exhausted the matter. Look, until the elections, no one will cut, because the work needs to be done. But look, I no longer feel that I can broadcast with a person like you. All the base tells you not to broadcast with a person like me. We'll do the elections, see who wins, and think about whether we're bringing the event back." He later added, "I think we have reached our end."

Caspit responded that this aligns with a conversation he had with the station's CEO months prior, indicating the door was already open for such a discussion. "It's funny. This is exactly the agreement I made a few months ago with the CEO. See how things happen in the end and fall into place. There was a period when I left, I had exactly these thoughts. And we agreed that we would reach the elections and think about it. You burst through a very open door," Caspit said.

Caspit further explained his rationale for continuing the show, even when criticized for normalizing Magal or giving him a platform. He argued that in the current era, where each tribe is trapped in its own sealed media bubble, he can only reach staunch supporters of Netanyahu, who often don't read his columns in Maariv and Walla, through their radio show. "The only place where I can talk to them is here. And I'm not saying this in vain. They approach me in droves," Caspit stated.
