Maya Bezalel Asis Departs Kan 11 After Seven Years for New Show on Keshet 12

After seven years of broadcasting together, Maya Bezalel Asis bid farewell on Wednesday to her co-host Kuti Sabag and the program "Hit'hilnu" (We Started) on Kan Gimel. Her final broadcast on the station follows her move to Keshet 12, where she is expected to host a new daily program. Bezalel Asis signed with Keshet 12, and her new show will focus on current affairs, culture, and entertainment, airing in the afternoon hours from Sunday to Wednesday. The move reportedly created tension with the management of the public broadcasting corporation, which did not permit her to simultaneously host two daily programs of a similar nature. Following attempts to reach a compromise, the decision was made for her to leave.

At the end of her final program, Bezalel Asis delivered personal remarks to her listeners and the team, expressing the difficulty of parting with the place where she had started her mornings for the past two years. "Well, those who know me know that being short of words is something that happens to me very rarely, but when you have to say goodbye, it's always hard. Today I am saying goodbye to 'Hit'hilnu' on Kan Gimel, which has been the home where I started my morning for the past two years," she said. She shared that even on days when she arrived at the studio tired or worried, the broadcast changed her mood: "But the moment I arrived at the studio and the microphone turned on, something changed." She added, "The energy, the laughter, the conversations, and the people on the other end lifted me up and made me the person I am and that you all know." She concluded by thanking the listeners, stating that they were the ones who made her mornings better: "You, the listeners, often tell me that I make your morning, but I want you to know that it's the exact opposite, you are the ones who made my morning better."
