  • Karin Kabesa, Channel 13's Northern correspondent, is moving to Channel 16.
  • Her departure follows that of Channel 13 CEO Tali Ben Ovadia.

  • Channel 16 is actively building its news operations.
  • Kabesa served as Channel 13's Northern correspondent for two years.

Karin Kabesa, the Northern correspondent for Channel 13's news division, has decided to leave her position after only two years. She is expected to join the new Channel 16, where she will continue to cover the northern region, according to journalist Gil Meshali. Kabesa's departure follows a series of exits from Channel 13, most recently that of the channel's CEO, Tali Ben Ovadia, who left earlier this month. In a message to employees, Ben Ovadia stated she was at peace with her decision to step down after the elections, despite the difficulty of parting ways with her colleagues. She reflected on her two years, calling it a privilege to cover a significant period in the country's history. This is not the first recruitment from Channel 13 by Channel 16. Approximately three months ago, Channel 13's Jerusalem correspondent, Rotem Golan, moved to Channel 16, where she now works as a magazine correspondent and presenter. These hiring moves are part of Channel 16's strategy to build its news operation, which is currently in full operational testing.
