Makan News has unveiled a new visual identity, a revamped studio equipped with the latest technology, and updated radio and digital platforms. The relaunch, effective October 16th and shortly before the general elections, aims to provide the Arab public with a modern and advanced news experience across television, radio, and mobile devices. This extensive renovation is the result of continuous design and technical production work within the Broadcasting Corporation, in collaboration with "Verme" and "Prometheus," companies that previously assisted in establishing the visual identity for Kan News upon its launch. The new identity for Makan News extends the updated visual language of Kan News, launched approximately a year ago, as part of an effort to unify the news identity in both Hebrew and Arabic while preserving Makan's distinct role in representing the Arab community's voice, daily life, issues, achievements, and challenges. The renewal includes the relocation of Makan News's broadcast to a new studio in Jerusalem, designed by Israeli designer Oren Hannan, who also worked on studios for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2023 European Championship. Hannan had previously participated in the visual identity and studio renovation project for Kan News. The studio's design accommodates diverse content presentation, with multiple locations for news segments and programs. Behind the scenes, technical infrastructure has also been upgraded to enhance the viewing experience. Makan Radio will simultaneously adopt a new musical identity and updated broadcast elements, aligning with the refreshed Kan News identity on "Reshet Bet" radio and strengthening Makan Radio's presence within the unified news division. This overhaul coincides with preparations for election day coverage on October 27th, with Makan News providing continuous updates from polling station openings to the final results. A main news broadcast at 10 PM will feature election sample results conducted by Makan News for the Broadcasting Corporation, overseen by Dudi Hassid from the Kantar polling institute. Lior Londonberg, Director of the News Division at Kan Broadcasting Corporation, stated that the new studio and radio renovations will enable them to deliver news to the Arab public with professionalism and independence, ensuring broad accessibility. He wished the Makan News journalistic team success.
