The popular Israeli satire program "Eretz Nehederet" (What a Wonderful Country) is changing its broadcast schedule, moving from Tuesdays to Wednesdays. The show, a staple on Keshet 12, had temporarily shifted to Tuesdays to align with the recent election cycle. However, it will now return to Wednesdays, a day that has become strongly associated with the program in recent years.

"Eretz Nehederet" has had a varied broadcast history since its inception. Initially airing on Friday evenings, its schedule has been adjusted multiple times over the years to fit the channel's programming. Its move to Wednesdays began in December 2005, following requests from Sabbath-observant viewers.

In recent years, Wednesdays have become the show's signature night, often marked by host Eyal Kitzis's opening greeting, "Shalom to you on Wednesday." While the show had maintained Wednesdays as its regular slot since the start of the war, there was a one-time shift to Tuesday in a specific week in April 2024.
