Television personality Avri Gilad has launched a scathing critique of his former employer, Channel 13, describing it as an "unmanaged organization" lacking stable professional leadership. Gilad made these sharp remarks during an interview on Iitai Segal's podcast, where he compared Channel 13 unfavorably to its competitor, Channel 12 (Keshet).
Gilad expressed feeling more comfortable at Keshet, stating, "I am allergic to unprofessionalism. Therefore, I feel much more comfortable at Keshet than at Channel 13. I felt like moving from the television of Zimbabwe to the television of Lucerne." He elaborated that the difference extends beyond management to the general atmosphere and how he was treated.
He also voiced disappointment over Channel 13's decision to cancel his program "HaMadad" after only two months, calling it an unusual occurrence. When asked why he remained with Channel 13 for many years, including 16 years hosting the morning show, Gilad cited a high salary and the creation of a "bubble" with colleagues he liked.
Gilad further contrasted the two networks by noting, "At Keshet, they give compliments. At Channel 13, it's rare." He suggested that this positive reinforcement contributes to his better experience at Keshet, linking it to his perception of the work environment and professionalism.
